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.”

Sometimes information is sealed because it involves a minor. Sometimes it’s information that will be used as part of a large case where more people will be charged at a later time. Judges know what information is being sealed and it needs their approval.
