Still trying to figure out what was so different or special about this case to warrant a gag order.

This happened in 2021. It's January 2025. What is going on?

exactly, I don't know why there is such secrecy, it is clear this man was all methed up and abused his infant son to death. The only mystery is why the gag order was placed in the first place.

[...]

According to court records, Caleb Whisnand Sr., has been indicted for capital murder after the death of his son, Caleb Michael Whisnand Jr.

The child’s early 2021 death was reportedly caused by injuries to his skull and/or brain.

[...]

A gag order has been put in place on the case.

I asked Grok, who placed the gag order, and why?

Grok's reply ..

The gag order in the Caleb Whisnand Sr. capital murder case was issued by Montgomery County District Judge Tiffany B. McCord during a preliminary hearing on June 4, 2021. It was requested by Whisnand’s defense attorneys, Mickey McDermott and Karen Haiden Jackson, to limit public and media discussions about the case. The defense argued that the significant media attention surrounding the case, involving the death of 5-week-old Caleb Whisnand Jr., could potentially compromise the judicial process. Although prosecutors opposed the motion, Judge McCord granted it, stating that it was the court’s duty to protect the integrity of the judicial process, especially given the case’s high-profile nature.

So we wait patiently for justice.
