News of the legal battle was first reported Friday by the Associated Press, whose lawyers filed a motion supporting the release of the emails. (Saints owner Gayle Benson is a friend of Archbishop Gregory Aymond’s.) But the team rejected the suggestion that it assisted in concealing information. Be direct, open and fully transparent, while making sure that all law enforcement agencies were alerted. The Saints provided the documents last year under the condition they would remain confidential, but lawyers for the victims have filed motions asking for them to be released.
