Judge grants order blocking release of 38 Studios documents
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A judge on Friday granted Rhode Island’s attorney general a court order to temporarily block the release of documents from the investigation into the state’s failed $75 million deal with the video game company started by former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin successfully petitioned Superior Court Justice Robert Krause to issue a temporary restraining order in the 38 Studios investigation, WPRI-TV reported (http://bit.ly/2tcsryV ).
Amy Kempe, a spokeswoman for Kilmartin, said Friday that the order allows the state to seek a legal determination as to what is required and what is prohibited from being released.
Kilmartin, a Democrat, asked to keep correspondence between his office and Rhode Island State Police detectives, along with “grand jury material deemed confidential” sealed, among other specific documents.
