Marion County prosecutor, Joel Ensey, has called for the return of all seized material to a weekly Newspaper that was raided by police. Ensey found insufficient evidence to establish a connection between the alleged crime and the items seized. The raids on the Marion County Record's offices and the home of its editor and publisher have sparked a debate about press freedom. The newspaper staff managed to publish a new edition despite the seizure of their computers and office equipment. The raids are believed to have been prompted by the newspaper's investigation into the local police chief's background.
