Both a federal grand jury and civil litigation on behalf of the victims' families are in progress. Your post seems to suggest that you think the attorneys in the latter situation are somehow not worthy or authorized recipients. I assure you that the rules of procedure and evidence, in the legal systems on both sides of the pond, provide for compelled production of evidence in both types of proceedings. If that were not the case, there would be no possibility for the system to even occasionally result in justice being done.
Sorry if you don't like it.
