Pa. Prosecutors Seize Paper's Hard Drives

State prosecutors seized four computers from a newsroom as part of a grand jury probe into whether a county coroner gave reporters his password to a secure law enforcement Web site, the newspaper said Wednesday.

The Intelligencer Journal of Lancaster had offered to provide the information sought through less intrusive means or to search the computers in the newsroom, newspaper officials said. But prosecutors won a court battle to take the hard drives.

Prosecutors have pledged to limit their search [Ed: Yeah, right.] to items related to the Lancaster County-Wide Communications' Computer Assisted Dispatch Web site, which contains details about criminal investigations.

Investigators believe reporters used information from the Web site to write stories or help them ask specific questions.

Lancaster Coroner G. Gary Kirchner has denied giving reporters access to the Web site. No criminal charges have been filed in the case.
