After a motion by the prosecutor in the Letterman blackmail case asked for the contents of search warrants to be sealed and kept secret, a Norwalk Superior Court Judge ruled that the contents of the warrants will be open to the public. The only exception to the ruling will be information that pertains to the identities of witnesses, which will be redacted.
The prosecutor, Suzanne Vieux, had filed a motion in Norwalk Superior Court seeking to keep the contents of search warrants that investigators used to arrest a CBS News producer for attempted blackmail. She also tried to have today’s court proceeding closed.
Halderman's attorney took the position that the information "has to be disclosed."
Media groups are happy because they wanted the material to be made public and some were concerned that the relationship between Letterman and the prosecutor may have influenced the decision to seek secrecy.
