The depositions from Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush will remain confidential, according to the latest ruling in the lawsuit against the superstar duo. Part of Nettles' deposition recounting the events of the August 13, 2011 stage collapse in Indianapolis, Ind. was leaked by attorneys earlier this year, but Marion Superior Court Judge Theodore Sosin has denied requests to release the full transcripts from both musicians, citing the need for stricter regulations on what is released to the public as his reasoning.

Sugarland was scheduled to begin their video deposition today (April 12) concerning the August 13 Indiana State Fair tragedy and the lawsuits suggesting that they resisted delaying the start of their show. Since the collapse that killed seven and injured dozens more, fingers have been pointed at everyone from Sugarland to Mid-America Sound Corp, the company that owned the stage and the light rigging.
