A Friday court hearing has been scheduled in the matter of unsealing records linked to the police search of the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen. The meeting is set for 9AM Friday morning in Redwood City, and should settle a conflict which was only extended when a request was initially denied by a San Mateo County judge. Asking for the access to an affidavit is a group of media outfits, including CNET, Bloomberg and the Associated Press, who say they want to know whether prosecutors considered journalistic shield laws before authorizing a raid.
