I think some believe that if all these docs etc they claim are being withheld are released it would open a Pandora's box and/or contain the smoking gun proving JB innocent. Personally I don't see it like that. Surely anything that might have assisted the defence and/or other incriminating material will simply have been destroyed? If trial exhibits were destroyed against a court order then it surely follows that docs, photos etc would go the same way?
I don't really understand the PII thing. I believe in criminal trials it's usually used with prosecution witnesses. Maybe JM's criminal activities eg cheque book fraud have to stay on file in the event of her being charged with some unrelated offence in the future?
Whatever is in the files I very much doubt there's anything in there capable of overturning JB's conviction.
