A lawyer for the news outlets filed a motion to intervene in the case late Thursday, asking the federal judge to unseal deposition transcripts and other evidence. The media outlets argue the public has an interest in seeing evidence that shows how the law enforcement agency operated. The lawsuit contends one of the deputies provoked an altercation that ended with him shooting Livingston multiple times at close range. A grand jury declined to indict Kehagias, who has resigned from the sheriff’s office. Lawyers for the sheriff’s office argue in court documents that Livingston engaged in hostile and aggressive acts that caused the deputy’s response.
