"Your office trampled on the constitutional rights of the Hutchins," the letter, dated April 27, reads. "Without any discussion, your office unilaterally determined that Mr. Hutchins would be given access to the materials to review early in the morning on Monday, April 25 before being released to the public later in the afternoon giving him less than a business day to review the materials.

During an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza defended releasing the material. "We're in response to a public records request, where we're required to release the information, and it was also an effort to be transparent in the investigation," Mendoza said.
