What it does

Existing law requires a court to seal the autopsy report and evidence associated with the examination of the victim, upon request of a qualifying family member, when a child was killed as a result of a criminal act and a person has been convicted and sentenced for the commission of that criminal act, or a person has been found to have committed that offense by the juvenile court and adjudged a ward of the juvenile court. Existing law defines "qualifying family member" for this purpose as a biological or adoptive parent, spouse, or legal guardian.
