Judge to unseal transcripts from secret hearing for Cunningham co-conspirator

By: TERI FIGUEROA - Staff Writer

Most of what was said during four days of secret court hearings for an admitted conspirator of former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham will soon be made public.

U.S. District Judge Larry Alan Burns, who is overseeing the criminal case against New York businessman Thomas Kontogiannis, ordered portions of the transcripts from secret hearings in the case unsealed. His order to open the files came a week after a federal appeals court agreed with Burns' earlier inclination to make public most -- but not all -- of the transcripts.

"The court orders the unsealing and public release of the unredacted portions of the transcripts of the proceedings in this case on Feb. 21, 22 and 23, 2007, and April 24, 2007," reads Burns' short order, issued Monday.


Just how much will be kept still under seal is unclear.
