Be prepared for possible further appeal of the denial and barring a reversal, likely future requests by the defense to have the court limit the materials turned over to just what is relevant to the estate's lawsuit. What is deemed relevant material will undoubtedly be litigated which will further frustrate plaintiff' by adding even more time and costs to their litigatory efforts. In the end, defendants will ask for and likely be granted a protective order which will seal the information from the public domain.
I totally agree with you that this will be the tact. They are buying time because they, apparently, know its their only hope. We'll see if the courts let them get away with it.....seems to me that the tide may have turned politically.
