The Pennsylvania Superior Court has ruled in a case of first impression that records pertaining to grand jury proceedings, including search warrants and related documentation issued in connection with those proceedings, are not open to the public.

In a published opinion in In re 2014 Allegheny County Investigating Grand Jury, a three-judge panel of the court upheld a ruling by the grand jury supervising judge denying a motion by Pittsburgh-based television station WPXI seeking to intervene and access a search warrant and related documents.
