A gag order?

Sure why not? We have secret evidence presented to secret courts giving secret rulings that can’t be appealed....

Go for a JURY TRIAL not a bench trial by some judge.

Good thing NRA members automatically forfeit their First Amendment rights or the prosecutors might be in serious legal jeopardy.

The prosecution saying that the gag order would serve in Markum’s best interest is about as believable as the Rats claiming to want to help the GOP win the WH by having them help pass amnesty.

Prosecutors withdrew their petition for a gag order on the condition that Marcum's parents waive the case's confidentiality that keeps the prosecution from speaking about the case because Marcum is a minor.

Love it when the gov doesn't want to play by their own rules

This is a direct assault on the First Amendment from several angles at once. I suspect that mandatory time in the Critical Legal Studies class in Law School inculcated the mindset that fires these things up.

A petition to intervene in the gag order hearing on behalf of WOWK-TV and the free press was prepared. Before WOWK reporter Charlo Greene could deliver the petition to the court clerk, she was asked twice to leave the courthouse by a bailiff who told her Judge Eric O'Briant, who presided over Marcum's case, had requested she be removed from the courthouse.

So much for the right to petition the government: you can prepare the petition, but be barred from the building wherein you are required to present it for consideration. Lovely.
