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.”

Usually the stuff that’s sealed is personal information of the victim. It is presented to the court but not made part of the public record.
ie. victim doesn’t need their medical records public.
