In this case of a police misconduct lawsuit brought by a jail inmate, Trotter concluded that “the public interest in finding out how decisions to spend public funds are formulated and insuring governmental processes remain open and subject to public scrutiny” outweighs any interest that Orange County might have in keeping secret its settlement policy and decisions.
