Release of the David Greenglass and Max Elichter Grand Jury testimony.

In regard to that part of Judge Hellerstein's decision that stated that no evidence had been presented of William Danziger's death and, consequently, his testimony was not to be released, both Steve Usdin and Jason Roberts have cited to the editor a NYT obituary for him: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?pid=161644432

The discovery of the obituary for William Danziger was discovered too late to modify the request for unsealing the remaining Rosenberg case grand jury testimony that was provided to Judge Hellerstein. It is regrettable that the obit was collectively missed by all of us involved in the Rosenberg grand jury effort until recently. Although the request to unseal the Danziger testimony certain could be made now, the fact of the matter is our greatest concern is to see that the Greenglass testimony is released ASAP.

At this point, if we were to go back to Hellerstein and request that Danziger's testimony be released as well, the judge would need to follow established procedure and stay the ongoing proceeding while government lawyers attempt to locate surviving Danziger family members to determine whether they object to the release of Danziger's testimony. This could take months and in the meantime the far more important testimony of David Greenglass would not be released. Bottom line, after the Greenglass testimony is released the question of whether it is worth filing another brief and pursuing Danziger's testimony will be reassessed by those of us involved in this effort. In the meantime we await word whether the government is going to appeal Judge Hellerstein's decision.
