See the Statement Below
"I'm pleased with Judge Silverstein's ruling to release all of the 38 Studios' documents. The public will now be aware of the facts, the mistakes and the wrong-doing that led to the 38 Studios' debacle.
"I have had to be patient throughout this process because I have said all along that the best approach is for the Superior Court to unseal the documents and for the State Police to continue its investigation. I have tremendous faith in our State Police as the appropriate agency to pursue criminal activity.
"The General Assembly is legislative in nature. While my focus since becoming Speaker last year has been on passing good budgets that encourage a strong economy, the combined efforts of the State Police and the courts will allow us to uncover the facts to learn from the past and never repeat the mistakes that were made."
