New Haven Superior Court Judge Jon Blue ruled last week the witness list would be released Thursday unless lawyers for /*Joshua Komisarjevsky*/ successfully appeal.
The defense argued that potential witnesses fear harassment and threats if their names are publicized, jeopardizing Komisarjevsky's right to a fair trial.
Blue said witness lists are ordinarily public and the defense hadn't proven the need to keep it sealed.
Authorities say Komisarjevsky and /*Steven Hayes*/ killed /*Jennifer Hawke-Petit*/ and her daughters in their Cheshire home in 2007.
Hayes was sentenced last year to death. Komisarjevsky's trial starts in September.
