NEW YORK, April 5 (UPI) -- The judge in an excessive-pay case against the former head of the New York Stock Exchange said interview notes aren't confidential.
No sooner had Judge Charles Ramos ruled on the notes than lawyers for Dick Grasso gave reporters excerpts of such notes featuring former Big Board directors denying Grasso influenced the pay setting process, the Wall Street Journal said Tuesday.

That process resulted in a $187.5 million compensation package.
The interview notes are calculated to counter a 2003 report by former U.S. prosecutor, Dan Webb, which concluded Grasso's pay was "excessive."
That report already has been made public.
