NORMAN — Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman ruled Thursday morning that the surveillance video of Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon punching a female OU student will remain sealed for now.

The Oklahoma Court of Appeals ruled earlier this week that Balkman erred when he dismissed a lawsuit to make the video public, and sent the case back to Balkman.

Balkman held a hearing Thursday morning to discuss the case with the attorneys representing both sides. Representing the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters, David McCullough said that because Balkman had showed the video in open court last year, it was now part of the court record and therefore should be released.
