Q: How to obtain documents for criminal case CT081026X in Prince George's County?
I need assistance in obtaining all documents related to a criminal case with the case number CT081026X filed in Prince George's County. What are the steps to request these documents, and are there any specific requirements I should be aware of?
A: All court files are public and may be copied by anyone, unless a court order directs that all or part of the case file be sealed from public view. Some documents containing personally identifiable information and financial account numbers are redacted or sealed, and all criminal juvenile cases are sealed by law. Other than that, adult criminal files may be viewed in person and copies made upon request (for a per page fee--the court staff makes all copies). Start with the criminal clerk's office, and they will direct you as to how to obtain copies.
