Paul Fox Director of Judicial Administration St. Louis County Circuit Court 7900 Carondelet Avenue Clayton, Missouri 63105, <0 (B14) 615-2666 Fax (14) 615-8280 aul Fox@ stlouisco.com me November 23, 20014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE There is a report today in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as follows: “If there is an indictment, only that document will be revealed. But if there is not, McCulloch has said he will take the rare step of obtaining a court order to reveal virtually all the evidence that was considered. Judge Carolyn Whittington has agreed to grant the request, said Paul Fox, the court administrator.” Judge Whittington has entered no such order and has made no such agreement. Ifthe Grand Jury returns a no true bill, the Judge anticipates the Court will receive requests for Grand Jury records. Some of those requests will require the Court to analyze the need for maintaining secrecy of the records with the need for public disclosure of the records. ‘The Court had done no such analysis. In order to analyze the need for maintaining secrecy, the Court will need information it does not have. It does not know the names of the witnesses who have testified before the Grand Jury and it has not hearJ the testimony or read transcriptions of testimony. The Court has not seen documents or material presented to the Grand Jury. The Court awaits the decision of the Grand Jury. The Court will thereafter be guided by the law in its response to requests for Grand Jury records. The quote attributed to me in the Post-Dispatch this morning is not accurate. Sincerely, Paul Fox
