I would think that his lawyers would have wanted to get out ahead of everything and dispute some things in the media before they were gagged. But if they had nothing, then they couldn't say anything. That is concerning to me. This is all very, very strange.
Good point! So the orders currently in place create a cascade whereby the only thing in the public is the prosecution/ISP narrative, the reasoning behind that narrative not being allowed out, and now even if the reasoning is ever published, an order signed today preventing anyone connected to the case from discussing it publicly.
It would be kinda wild to think that official misconduct is even a thing in 2022, but it is. Yes this is delicate, yes there are some things that don't need to be made public - I'll even bite and say maybe the DA should have some benefit-of-the-doubt and maybe just maybe publicity could do some harm in some ways unless done properly - but the shroud of mystery mixed with complaints about "the media!! and social media!!! they'll ruin it all!" with the undoing of due process isn't helping.
Just to note, Indiana has overturned twelve wrongful murder convictions since 2000 - it happens. 70% of the time it's due to official misconduct. Against that background you'd want a squeaky-clean process, surely. Exonerations in the United States Map
