Denver Post, Tuesday, September 26, 1995 MOST, NOT ALL, ITEMS SEIZED BY CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY RETURNED By George Lane Denver Post Staff Writer Most of the Church of Scientology documents confiscated last month from the homes of two Boulder County men by U.S. marshals were returned yesterday under orders from the federal courts in Denver and the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the issue is far from being resolved because the courts ordered that "all" confiscated items be returned to Lawrence Wollersheim and Robert Penny, not "most" of the items. Computer software, hardware and other equipment and documents were confiscated from Wollersheim's Boulder home and Penny's Niwot home Aug. 22 with an order from a Denver federal judge. The church had charged that the two men had violated Scientology copyrights by making sensitive copyrighted material public over the Internet. But another federal judge later ordered the materials to be returned. Efforts to block the return of the items were rejected by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver and the U.S. Supreme Court. "We gave back the documents except for a small portion which are our confidential religious scriptures, which were stolen from us in the first place," said Leisa Goodman, Scientology spokeswoman. "We filed a motion with the court asking the judge to recognize that we are in compliance with the First Amendment." The documents were returned to the law offices of Tom Kelley, who is representing the two men. Late yesterday Kelley issued a statement saying it had been determined that not only did the church's Religious Technology Center not return all of the confiscated items, but what it did return were copies, not the originals that were taken. "...the RTC wasn't returning the original hard drives, but copies of the hard drives, with the 'confidential' material deleted," the statement said. "The plaintiffs did not follow Judge (John) Kane's order." Kelley said a motion will be filed asking that the church be found in contempt of court.
