The missing material includes interviews with prosecutors about why they didn't request bail for Remy after he was arrested for assaulting girlfriend Jennifer Martel.

That attack came two days before he killed her.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan told the Globe she had no obligation to release the interviews she excluded from the report.

In one excluded portion, now released because of a public information request, the District Court director said more analysis of Remy's prior criminal history was needed, but the prosecutor may have been too busy.

Ryan said, "I asked members of my staff to speak freely, to speak candidly, to have no fears of any repercussions about anything they said ..."

Ryan said she didn't want to violate that trust. The outrage over Remy's release before Martell's murder led to some calls for Ryan's resignation.

Remy pleaded guilty to the murder in May and is serving a life term.
