On Midwest Week, four years after a police shooting in Burlington, the fight over which details should be released to the public, and which shouldn't, isn't over yet.

On Midwest Week, a settlement has been reached in a long-running fatal shooting case from southeast Iowa involving police, the victim's family, the state, and when police video should be released to the public.

What began as an officer-involved fatal shooting in southeast Iowa two years ago, has now become a fight over open records and video from police body cameras.

One of the many places where the national debate over police reports, including video and the public record, is being played out is in southeastern Iowa.

On Midwest Week, Herb Trix's guest is Andy Hoffman, cops and courts reporter for The Hawkeye newspaper, published in Burlington. Midwest Week is also heard on Fridays at 6:50 pm on WVIK, during All Things Considered.
