Four media outlets have sued the city of Madison and Dane County to force the release of the 9/11 tape of a call made by a murdered University of Wisconsin-Madison student. The media outlets are also seeking copies of documents from an internal investigation into police response to the call. Police have refused requests saying release would hamper their investigation into the murder. (5/16/08)
