Some
victims of the San Bernardino attack will file a legal brief in support
of the U.S. government's attempt to force Apple Inc to unlock the
encrypted iPhone belonging to one of the shooters, a lawyer representing
the victims said on Sunday.Stephen
Larson, a former federal judge who is now in private practice, told
Reuters that the victims he represents have an interest in the
information which goes beyond the Justice Department's criminal
investigation.
"They were targeted by terrorists, and they need to know why, how this could happen," Larson said.
Larson
said he was contacted a week ago by the Justice Department and local
prosecutors about representing the victims, prior to the dispute
becoming public. He said he will file an amicus brief in court by early
March.
