Palin's Son Seeks To Bar Media In Assault Proceedings
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The eldest son of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is seeking to bar the media from covering court hearings after he was accused of assaulting his father last year at the family home in Alaska.
A lawyer for Track Palin, 29, filed a motion Friday to prohibit or limit media access to proceedings in Veterans Court, including a hearing scheduled to take place Tuesday.
Palin's attorney, Patrick Bergt, said the motion was filed on grounds to ensure the case does not become a distraction to other veterans in the system. Veterans Court is part of Alaska's therapeutic court system.
Bergt said he also plans to file an application next week to formally transfer the case to the Veterans Court. The case is officially in Superior Court in Palmer north of Anchorage.

Spouse & I, along with a BUNCH of folks of the bluer persuasion, were right outside the Co-Op on 2nd Avenue.
We were not nice. Most of the folks near us were in town for WEIO (World Eskimo Indian Olympics); I had this cute kid on my shoulders (no, I didn't get a pic).
We were all chanting TONY TONY TONY (for Tony Knowles, her opponent.
The good boy Track was on our side of the street, and my voice carries...........he absolutely DID come at me, and I'm 105 lb., toting a 3 year old on my back. Local cop we all knew (who has since passed and was the BEST beat cop ever) just looked at him and pointed to the body of the parade.
It's a simple 2-lane, 1-way in-town street. Had I not been surrounded, I saw his face and can tell you he WOULD have struck out.
I hope they nail his violent, entitled, indulgent ass to the wall and send him off to jail.
Not if you're a Palin; doncha know "we're privileged".
