Contra Costa County  Coroner
Releases Statement

May 29, 2003

Contra Costa County Sheriff's Coroner Warren Rupf has issued a statement clarifying his role
in the alleged release of Conner Peterson's autopsy report to a national media outlet today.


The reports have been sealed by a Stanislaus County Superior Court judge
presiding over the case, and Rupf stressed the Sheriff's Office will not
officially release the coroner's report until directed to do so by court order.


"For this report to be leaked or released without court order is clearly
irresponsible, if not illegal," Rupf said.


"Any responsible media representative should question any information
not released by me personally. Speculation or out of context discussion
surrounding this case to include the coroner's report are unfair to the
prosecution, defense and certainly to the family of Laci Peterson."
