The search warrants were initially sealed by the judge on a motion from the prosecutor.
The Blade (and ABC 13) filed a motion to present arguments against the seal on Tuesday, July 27:

From the following conversation from yesterday between ABC 13 and the editor at the Blade regarding release of the documents, I gather that the prosecutor no longer objected to the Blade's position for reasons that only that office can best clarify.
I suspect that office knew that the Blade was holding the better legal position.

The public records were then released by the prosecutor's office in accordance with Ohio law on public information.
Thanks -- I guess I didn't realize that the actual hearings and process for something like this could/would move so quickly.
