A docket notation on Cooper's case file, indicates the letters were filed Tuesday under seal. The letters were filed as exhibits "A to FF," according to the notation.
In another development on the case, U. S. Assistant Attorney James Crowe filed a document Tuesday noting that the government accepts the pre-sentence investigation.
