Atlanta attorney Gerald R. Weber Jr. last month filed a motion in Paulding County on behalf of Rome government gadfly George Anderson to unseal Richardson’s divorce file.

The case was sealed the same day by Osborne, who wrote in his sealing order that “the harm otherwise resulting to the interest of the parties and their children … outweighs any public interest” in seeing the records.
