Judge Andrew Napolitano reacted this afternoon to the latest news in the JonBenet Ramsey case.

A judge has agreed to release the indictment that was handed down against John Ramsey and his late wife, Patsy, following the 1996 murder of their six-year-old daughter in their Boulder, Colo., home.

The decision came after a lawsuit by the Daily Camera newspaper and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press to gain access to the records.

A grand jury voted in 1999 to indict the Ramseys, but the prosecutor did not pursue the case.

Napolitano pointed out that the public wants to see what the grand jurors looked at before voting to indict, but Colorado law prevents that evidence from coming out.

Watch his full explanation above.
