Did the gag order cover prospective jurors? Was it explained in the juror questionnaire or cover letter?Due to the timing of the article, I think that's a strong possibility. However, I have to wonder what her expectations were. Did she expect the media to remain silent and not report on it?
Allen County Judge Fran Gull’s order applies to attorneys, law enforcement officials, court personnel, the coroner and the girls’ family members. It bars them “from commenting on this case to the public and to the media, directly or indirectly, by themselves or through any intermediary, in any form, including any social media platforms.”
Anyone violating the order could be charged with contempt of court and face a fine or incarceration, Gull wrote.
