• holding that the trial court erred in failing to “issue individualized, specific, particularized findings on the record that closure [was] essential to preserve higher values and is narrowly tailored to that interest”
• noting that proffers of evidence, which “were never docketed, formally filed with the court, or required by any rule of criminal procedure,” are not “public judicial documents” subject to the “right of First Amendment or common law access”
• stating “once evidence has been disseminated to the general public, it cannot be resealed; the cat is out of the bag, so to speak”
• order denying request for public access to a criminal proceeding or judicial documents constitutes a collateral order from which an immediate appeal may be taken
