Judge queries feds' photo releases in Boston cases



D.H.
Boston (AP)  -- A federal judge has ordered prosecutors to produce affidavits explaining why photographs were released and any news conferences held following the arrests of two Boston politicians on corruption charges.
  
Judge Douglas Woodlock said Thursday at a pretrial that he wants to evaluate whether prosecutors tried to "gin things up" among the public following the arrests last year of former Sen. Dianne Wilkerson and Boston city councilor Chuck Turner.
  
Woodlock said he wanted affidavits by July 16 from anyone involved in the decision-making process, potentially including former U.S. Attorny Michael Sullivan.
  
The judge still has to rule on the prosecution's request to have Turner not disclose any documents provided to him before the trial.

Turner says making that agreement would waive his First Amendment rights.
  
Woodlock set a tentative March 15 trial date.
