Documents detailing killing of Mass. teacher may be made public; teen indicted
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}More details may be released in court in the death of a popular Danvers teacher who police say was killed by one of her students.
The Associated Press, The Boston Globe and other media organizations have asked a Salem District Court judge to lift an order that bars public viewing of search warrants and other documents in the case of 14-year-old Philip Chism. Some of those documents are expected to be made public Friday.
Chism has been held without bail since shortly after the Oct. 22 slaying of 24-year-old Colleen Ritzer, whose body was found behind Danvers High School.
