Patch Reporter Won't Have to Reveal Source: Appellate Court

By: Lauren Traut | Patch

Patch editor Joe Hosey will not have to reveal an anonymous source, an appellate court ruled on Monday, and with that his legal battle of more than a year came to an end.

Third District Appellate Court judges earlier this month heard arguments on whether Joseph Hosey should be required to divulge the source from whom he received investigative reports that described in detail various aspects of a grisly Joliet double murder in January 2013.
