Judge Davidson sends Ed Peters statements to the Southern District and Judge Yerger

Some of the individual Frisby parties in Eaton v. Frisby filed a motion in U.S. v. DeLaughter asking for preservation and access of Ed Peters statements and the grand jury materials that relate to the contact with DeLaughter in the Eaton case.  Recall that one of several lawsuits in the Eaton mess is a criminal prosecution in the Southern District, accusing several Frisby employees of stealing Eaton trade secrets.  Judge Davidson has ruled on the Frisby parties’ motion, ruling that he will send it to Judge Barbour (who has the criminal case) for en camera review, and that he will also send it to Judge Yerger, who has the state circuit court Eaton case in which Peters contacted DeLaughter.

Here’s the opinion of Judge Davidson.
