Judge opens custody records in Palin custody battle

An Alaska judge has unsealed the records in the custody dispute between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

Superior Court Judge Kari Kristiansen rejected the argument made by Bristol Palin -- daughter of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- that the case should be sealed from the public and that a gag order should be in place. In addition, the presiding judge ruled against Palin's proposed used of the pseudonyms Jane and John Doe.
