How later courts describe this case
- "torture" correctly included in vileness instruction where evidence was sufficient to show victim, "[w]hile still alive, ... was severely bruised and bitten on her breast"
- Public Records Act does not permit an automatic delay in release of records, to allow employee to raise a constitutional challenge, as only the records custodian may raise such a challenge
