In that instance, defendant requested that the court ask a prospective juror "what he remembers out of the newspapers *31 * * * what he remembers specifically out of the newspapers and radio." Defendant's third argument concerning this contention is that even assuming the validity of the December 13 search, the underlying complaint for the December 21 search warrant failed to satisfy the two-prong test of Aguilar v.

He had handcuffed Piest after Piest had come to his house with him to discuss the possibility of employment. Rignall was fastened to a torture device called "the rack", which was similar to the one used by serial killer Dean Corll in his torture and killings of boys. The Supreme Court has held that the press and general public have a constitutional right of access to criminal trials.

On cross-examination, Dr. Freedman stated that defendant could not control when the outcroppings would occur. In People v.
