Due to the sensitive content of these files, the collection has the following guidelines and restrictions:

1. Case documents and/or direct quotations may be used to illustrate final reports or other publications, but will not contain any identifying victim or witness information. All quotations will be exact reproductions and will contain citations to the record.

2. Names of crime victims and witnesses that are discovered through this resource will not be used or documented in any way, nor will any attempt to contact them be made, with the following exception. Witnesses who testified in their professional capacity (e.g., attorneys, police officers, laboratory analysts, experts, etc.) are not subject to the same protections and may be contacted.

3. For trials involving later-exonerated defendats, that person's background and personal information, including educational, family, medical, and psychiatric history, etc., will not be used or documented, except to state whether mental health issues or mitigating evidence was raised at trial.
