That may not be enough to keep you alive though. Assuming there is minimal difference in the impact to the company, potential killers may want to get revenge. The difference also may not be that minimal. IANAL, but it wouldn't surprise me if evidence released that way would be easier for the defendant to block from being used in the courtroom.
