lamar's murder case will be answered. 2,000 pages will be released today. kris sanchez live outside the courthouse in san jose where it should be released this afternoon. kris, what does mean for the defendant though, antolin garcia torres? >> reporter: well his attorney will argue that it means that he cannot get a fair trial in santa clara county if everybody knows every intimate detail of the case against him, however, for the judge presiding over this case, he said the public's right to know is overrides that concern for pretrial publicity. this is not a done deal. we will have a crew waiting out here on the steps of the courthouse behind me for the release of that grand jury indictment. the transcript however a judge an appellate judge could block that. for now the presiding judge ruled that the publics right to know overrides concern that the pretrial publicity will interfere with that accused killer, antolin garcia torres's

right if to a fair trial. it's expected to be released today. in it he might find out what the evidence against antolin garcia torres is and why he was indicted on murder charges. her family and supporters continue to comb the south bay looking for signs of her. her family believes she'll come home alive, but the santa clara county sheriff's office said over and over again that they believe that she is dead, and they have the toefd prove it. we've never been privied to the evidence, that could change today. we may also hear from some of the witnessed who testified in that grand jury indictment hearing, including the three women that antolin garcia torres is accused of attacking and trying to kidnap. but again, it goes back to the evidence that resulted in him being indicted. >> we will learn a lot about this dna evidence that we've been hearing about. where was the dna evidence located in garcia torres's vehicle?

what kind of dna was it? all of that is going to be made crystal clear by these grand jury transcripts. >> reporter: now clark says that a grand jury report is one sided meaning that the district attorney's office presents their case and the evidence that they have, but the defense cannot give their side of the story, cannot cross examine either. again, garcia torres's attorney wants that judge to keep the transcript sealed to give garcia torres a better chance at having a jury that had not heard all of the intimate details of the case before him. however, in most cases, a grand jury transcript is automatically public, it is considered a public document. so, what we're arguing about here is keeping it sealed, rather than opening it up, that's not the anomaly, it's the keeping it sealed part that is the anomaly. we'll find out whether or not the defense attorney gets his motion to appeal, or rather to overturn that ruling later today. reporting live in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay."
