Reminder that i am no american lawyer, but its very sadstiny that Destiny might be in the right regarding sealed filing. Page 19 does state, that a sealed filing in civil cases must be approved beforehand by the judge.
Additionally such a law makes a lot of sense, especially regarding witnesses, since otherwise it would be a lot easier for ppl to just claim to be a witness to something without actually being one, as your false claim has no effect towards your private/professional life, if nobody knows that you claim to have witnessed something (wrongly), and as such the incentives to wrongly provide testamony is a lot higher. Also there (at least in my countries understanding of the law) is a big difference between providing false testamony personally in court with your identity attached and not doing so, with the former needing a lot more courage and willingness to lie from the false witness. (Not that im saying that she is a false witness, just that that rule tries to prevent false witnessed).
To add to this, it is basically impossible for opposing counsel to attack a testamony if he only knows its content, but not who made it, as such testamonies often are attacked by pointing out personal interests of the witness (f.e. financial incentives or personal grievancess).
But i hope that im wrong, since i want steven to suffer in this trial as much as possible.
Edit: Im to lazy to comb through the american law to search for this, but there should be a §/Art that introduces additional ruled towards victims of sensitive crimes (f.e. sexual abuse) and especially endangered victims that would allow the court to keep their identity secret from the opposing counsel, but im not to sure if said rule would also apply to civile trials, if there is no criminal conviction and/or at least an ongoing criminal trial.
