Intelligencer Journal
Lancaster County (Pa.) coroner
G. Gary Kirchner appeared in court Monday on charges he broke the law by giving Intelligencer Journal reporters a restricted password to a county website where the coroner, fire officials and emergency responders maintain a log. The State Attorney General says Kirchner violated the public trust "to help a small group of reporters gain an edge over competing media outlets."
