The medical records of a Janesville homicide victim will be sealed as the case proceeds in Rock County Court.
Rock County Judge John Wood granted the prosecution’s motion Wednesday to protect the files of the 15-month-old victim.
31-year-old Steven Horan is charged with first-degree reckless homicide from the incident in March of 2020.
His attorney Matthew Lantta argued that sealing the records would create a burden on Horan to assist in his own defense by limiting his access to key evidence.
Judge Wood cited new victim privacy guidelines put in place by Marcy’s Law, the state constitutional amendment passed by voters last April.
