PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A judge has ruled that the videotaped deposition of actor Gary Coleman won't be released to the public until a civil lawsuit against him over an incident at a Payson bowling alley is settled.
Terry Plant, Coleman's attorney, says that if the video were released it could spread quickly and destroy Coleman.
Judge Samuel McVey said he was worried about whether there would be a fair trial if people in a jury pool had seen the video.
An attorney for Colt Rushton, who is suing Coleman over the September incident in which Coleman allegedly hit Rushton with his truck, objected to keeping the deposition sealed.
In December Coleman pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from the incident and was ordered to pay $100 fine.
