JonBenet prosecutors stand pat
Lawyers won't seek grand jury testimony
By Kevin McCullen
Denver Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer
BOULDER Prosecutors will not ask a court to release any portion of testimony before a grand jury that investigated JonBenet Ramsey's murder last year.
Boulder District Attorney Alex Hunter said Thursday that he and special prosecutor Mike Kane, who led the 13-month investigation that ended in October 1999, could not release any of the transcripts and would not ask a judge to do so.
The flap about release of the grand jury testimony arose Wednesday night during a testy exchange between Kane and Lin Wood, the Atlanta-based libel attorney for John and Patsy Ramsey.
Wood called on Kane to divulge why the grand jury concluded its investigation without issuing an indictment. Kane, according to the CNN transcript, replied, "I'll tell you what: If you will go to court with me, and ask the presiding judge to authorize a release of that information, I will release it."
But Kane said Thursday his remarks were misinterpreted and he would not authorize any release of grand jury transcripts.
"I will not agree to release a grand jury transcript, and there is no way a court would allow that. There is no way in the world I could or would do that," Kane said from his law office in Pennsylvania.
Wood, contacted Thursday, replied, "No one is misinterpreting anyone here. Kane should not have said that if he did not mean it."
Hunter said state grand jury statutes say that transcripts must remain sealed until an indictment is issued or a report is issued. The grand jury that heard testimony in the case did not issue a report.
"They will not be released," Hunter said.

WOOD: Mr. Kane, why don't you just tell us why the grand jury didn't take any action. It is a fair question. The public is entitled to know. This is not...
KANE: No, I'm not -- I'll tell you what, Mr. Wood, I'll tell you what: If you will go to court with me, and ask the president judge to authorize a release of that information, I will release it.
WOOD: I will walk into that courtroom with you, I may not...
KANE: I will sign that petition with you, Mr. Wood, I will sign.
WOOD: Let's get this case...
KING: Wait a minute.
WOOD: Let's get this case out fully and fairly before the public.
KING: We have made some progress here tonight. Lin Wood will release all the tapes he has got. And Michael and Lin will go to court together; Lin will ask for the release of the grand jury, Michael will say is OK.
WOOD: I look forward to seeing you in court, Michael.
KANE: I will tell the judge I have no objection. If you say that you will waive rule 6 and allow us to release that information, I will tell the court I have no objection.
WOOD: Let's the truth come out, Mr. Kane.
KANE: All right, very well.
