Gag orders are issued where one counsel can’t pass up a mike or a video camera. We know Wood has never seen a camera he does not like.
We don’t know whether the gag order is as to one counsel or all counsel. We also don’t know whether Wood was being his regular obnoxious self and pontificating every time he saw a camera.
I would be interested in seeing the text of the gag order to see if it is unilateral. I would also like to see the motion filed by plaintiffs, and the opposition filed by Wood. Motions and oppositions are invariably supported by declarations under penalty of perjury, so that would help determine who was making extrajudicial statements.
If you continue reading this thread, I have elaborated extensively on the topic, and on the character of Wood.
Interesting stuff.
