Station evidence: Next release to be 50 to 60 DVDs

PROVIDENCE -- A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office said this afternoon that the 3,000 or so documents released today represent "just a downpayment" of the total evidence to be released in association with The Station fire case.

"The attorney general made a pledge to make as much of the evidence and other information about The Station fire available as quickly as possible. Today’s release really represents just a downpayment,” spokesman Michael Healey said.

“We’re putting the documents out there for public consumption. We’re not offering our interpretation of their relative importance or lack thereof. People are going to have to make up their own minds. We would respectfully urge people to wait until everything that can be made public is made public before forming their opinions.”

Healey said that the next installment of evidence released will consist largely of videos of bands that had played at The Station or amateur footage shot the night of the fire. The videos would fill 50 to 60 DVDs. They are expected to be released next week or the week after.

People who want to request a free copy of the CD-ROM of documents released today may call 401-274-4400, ext. 2328. The attorney general has not determined how to distribute videos to the general public.
