I think you have that backwards.

The president of the Penn State Alumni Association is a Montgomery County DA.
With all the corruption/mismanagement of the eastern side of the state of Michigan, I had felt we, or perhaps a Chicago type, were the most crooked in the USA. Since following this mess, I can see I was mistaken. No matter ones stance on what Joe should/shouldn't of done, a person has to be blind not to see there is a lot more that is covered up in Pa.
Kane has denied all of my RTKL requests and the court has upheld her decision.
Ahem.....there has to be some top notch attorneys on this board who can help Ryan find the "side door". There has to be some really unpleasant details contained in those emails in order for Katherine to keep them from Ryan.
Ryan: Let us know if and when you need $$$

No amount of money will change the situation. Kane could have released the emails, but she chose not to. One group contained emails between Freeh's team and Fina. I saw them when they were filed under seal, but I cannot disclose their contents because the court found they were not public records. Covey was one of those who voted against disclosure, btw. Many of those e-mails would have been exceptionally helpful when combating PSU's claims of privilege and promises of confidentiality. It is exceptionally unfortunate that they were kept under wraps.
I filed one appeal with the Supreme Court for about 15K, but the court didn't take the case. I won't file another one. It's just too much money with too little chance of success.
Thanks Ryan,
It's probably time for us to turn our collective attention to finding "someone" who can officially unseal those emails.
Are the Paterno and Spanier legal teams aware of these E-mails? They could have grounds to obtain via the discovery process.
Ryan, I realize this is a difficult question to pose but as a private citizen how would the fact that the Judge ruled they are not public records affect you? I mean that in the sense of how could there be a sanction against you for revealing information you may have read at some point? I would liken it to Grand Jury testimony - the AG cannot release any information but witnesses can reveal anything they choose to. IMHO you would be in no different of a place than Sara Gamin was when she released information from a GJ that a Judge and PA law ruled was to remain private.
Can you resubmit the prior request to the AG office/ Kane again? Her attitude with regard to Fina and Freeh may have changed given recent events.
