“We are thrilled that Judge Cebull revisited the protective orders in this case and found that there was no reason for continued secrecy,” said Public Justice attorney Amy Radon. “It is now our hope that Judge Cebull will take the final step of unsealing the remaining Aleksich court filings so that the public has access to the whole picture of what happened in that case.”

A Public Justice press release said the remaining sealed records are believed to include evidence that Remington hid its knowledge of the defective trigger mechanism from the court, the Aleksich family and the public for decades.

“I’m not prepared to disclose what my findings are at this point,” Barber said. “When I do, I think it is going to be very, very significant.”

Barber said he knows of at least 50 people who have been injured or killed by a discharge of a Remington Model 700 since his son died.

“Two weeks ago, I learned of another death,” he said. “Two days ago, I learned of another death. It’s not going to stop.”

Barber said he wants the public to have an opportunity to review this information and make its own informed decision about the safety of the rifle.
