Sandy Hook,Newtown,CT.:State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky Represents Barack Obama's Interests NOT the Public's Right To Know or the U.S.Constitution

"What I found troubling about the approach of the
state's attorney is that from my perspective, he seems to have forgotten
his job is to represent the state of Connecticut," Klau said. "His
conduct in many instances has seemed more akin to an attorney in private
practice representing Sandy Hook families."
Secrecy still shrouds Sandy Hook investigation...........
The decision to continue withholding the bulk of the evidence is
stirring new criticism of the secrecy that has surrounded the probe
since a gunman killed 20 children and six educators inside the school on
Dec. 14.
While the gunman took his own life and authorities are
not contemplating any prosecutions, the lead investigator, State's
Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, has gone to court to fight the release of
911 tapes, consulted privately with victims' families on what might be
included in the report and resisted calls from Connecticut's governor to
divulge more information sooner.
In defense of their handling of
records, investigators have cited the scale of the criminal
investigation — perhaps the most extensive in Connecticut's history —
and consideration for the victims' families, some of whom have lobbied
for tighter restrictions on public information and complained of being
harassed by conspiracy theorists.
Dan Klau, a Hartford attorney
who specializes in First Amendment law, said the decision to release a
summary report before the full evidence file is a reversal of standard
practice and one of the most unusual elements of an investigation marked
by secrecy.
"What I found troubling about the approach of the
state's attorney is that from my perspective, he seems to have forgotten
his job is to represent the state of Connecticut," Klau said. "His
conduct in many instances has seemed more akin to an attorney in private
practice representing Sandy Hook families."
Sedensky said he could not comment.
