Zimmermann 911 tapes could be made public sooner

In the wake of bits and pieces of the 911 call made by slain UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann being made public, lawyers for media interests on Tuesday asked a Dane County judge for an immediate hearing to make the tape of the call public, even if that hearing had to be held over the phone.

Dane County officials signaled Tuesday they did not oppose the hearing, but Madison police and the Dane County District Attorney’s Office gave a different answer.
