Request for Murray’s data denied

The Patrick administration declined today to release detailed cellphone records of Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray today, rejecting the request by the Boston Globe and other media organizations for records that would have showed who Murray talked to on his state-owned cell phone around the time of his early morning car accident on Nov. 2. The Globe had requested records of who Murray called and who called Murray from March 1 to Nov. 18, 2011, partly in hopes of shedding light on the circumstances surrounding Murray’s rollover, which totaled his state-owned Crown Victoria. Murray has given shifting accounts of the accident’s cause, initially blaming a patch of ice, but later agreeing with state police who suggested he fell asleep at the wheel.
