The comments came during a hearing today in Framingham District Court in which attorneys for GateHouse Media -- owner of the MetroWest Daily News -- argued that the search warrants issued in this case should be made public. Middlesex County assistant district attorney, Daniel Bennett, argued the warrants should remain impounded because they reveal much about the investigation's direction and could compromise evidence. Bennett said his investigation could "center on computer information," and disclosure about the specifics of that could give people reasons to destroy or alter evidence. "We're attempting to gather evidence worldwide," he said. District Court Judge Paul Healy said he would review the issue and decide Monday afternoon. -- Patricia Wen Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 06:38 PM
