The staffs of the state's top prosecutor and the governor's office
have been working in secret with General Assembly leaders on
legislation to withhold records related to the police investigation
into the Dec. 14 Newtown elementary school massacre including
victims' photos, tapes of 911 calls, and possibly more.

The behind-the-scenes legislative effort came to light Tuesday when
The Courant obtained a copy of an email by a top assistant to Chief
State's Attorney Kevin Kane, Timothy J. Sugrue. Sugrue, an assistant
state's attorney, discussed options considered so far, including
blocking release of statements "made by a minor."
