MICHELLE TUCCITTO SULLO of The Connecticut Law Tribune reports as follows:

"For years, Michael Schless practiced law in Newington without any hint of wrongdoing. He's now 78, retired and living in Boynton Beach, Florida. And there is a warrant pending for his arrest.

The issuance of the warrant by Newington police is the latest chapter in a lengthy investigation into whether Schless took thousands of dollars from a client with cerebral palsy.

CT LAW TRIBUNE REPORTS MEDIA FIGHTS STATE POLICE FOR MORE DOCUMENTS ON ADAM LANZA CASE!

Michelle Tuccitto Sullo of The CT Law Tribune reports as follows:

Months after the Newtown tragedy, State Police released a lot of information on their investigation into the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and gunman Adam Lanza, but they didn't release everything, and a court battle between authorities and the media over unreleased documents has ensued.

The Hartford Courant has requested documents which are referenced in the State Police report on the Dec. 14, 2012, shootings, but which haven't been made public. Lanza, 20, killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at home, then fatally shot 20 children and six adults inside the school before committing suicide.
