Chafee's office gave memo to 38 Studios defendant

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Gov. Lincoln Chafee’s office inadvertently turned over a privileged document to a defendant in the 38 Studios lawsuit, attorneys for Rhode Island’s economic development agency said Friday in asking a judge to order copies of the document destroyed.

Chafee legal counsel Anita Flax said during a hearing in the case that she mistakenly turned over the memorandum to Wells Fargo, one of 14 defendants in the suit over the collapse of former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s video game company.
