Court room puts evidence online

A Florida woman accused of killing her toddler daughter made a rare court appearance Thursday for a hearing regarding "disturbing" images of the scene where her daughter's skeletal remains were found.
Reads the CNN news article on the Casey Anthony trial. The issue at hand is the defense wishes to send photo's to experts outside the state of Florida. There is a concern that said experts could leak these disturbing photo's to the media. As a software developer the solution they came up with baffles my mind.
The parties agreed that the defense would set up a secure Web site for its experts to evaluate the photographs.

Instead of hand delivering copies of these photos to experts that have signed confidentiality agreements, they are going to be setting up a 'secure' website that contains all of these photos. They then have to communicate to the experts in some fashion how to login to said website. If the prosecutors were concerned about leaking with a sneaker net, why is no one throwing a red flag about putting this stuff up on publically accessible webserver?
