ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) ― The judge in the Tom Petters fraud case has given prosecutors permission to post the trial exhibits on their Web site.
U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle gave the go-ahead Wednesday to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Minnesota.
Kyle is also backing prosecutors' efforts to find more victims. Under his order, the U.S. Attorney's Web site can now list scheduled public proceedings and provide impact statement forms that victims can send in.
Petters was convicted last month of running a Ponzi scheme that cost investors $3.65 billion. The exhibits introduced include covert audio recordings and the Wayzata businessman's e-mails.
A sentencing date has not been set, but he could get life in prison. Petters' attorneys say he's innocent and plans to appeal.
