In my limited experience and understanding, I would think any information pertaining to the case that is possible evidence would be presented to the court in order to determine the most appropriate verdict. So why seal documents if they could heavily impact the verdict? Isn’t that like saying “Hey, the defendants gun was recovered, but we’re going to set that fact aside, and you can’t use that against him.”

Sealing documents is a completely separate issue from whether or not the jury sees them, you’re misunderstanding what is means for records to be sealed.
