text: No, you can't. The entire file will not be available electronically, nor can you request hardcopy documents for the entire file. Files on certain types of criminal cases, such as sex crimes and domestic assaults, are heavily redacted, and most of the details are not available to the public. I know this because a friend of mine was the victim of a such a crime and was considering a civil action, so we went to the courthouse to review the file and she was told, essentially, too bad, it's not public record and you can't see it even if you were the victim. 
  
  My friend ultimately had to hire an attorney to obtain this missing information. The attorney, who is well known from experience with the DA's office, said this was pretty typical. Fortunately, she ultimately prevailed in her civil suit against her attacker. The moral of the story is, government officials have wide latitude in deciding what is and is not public information. You have to fight if you disagree.
