I don't care what Titus order says about witnesses, identified, unidentified, or potential. Rule 3.6 only applies to lawyers. Period! No judge has the authority to expand that rule. If Titus wants to shut up the witnesses and the parties, he has to issue a gag order.
I'm gonna go back to what I originally thought when I was watching the hearing. The judge released some of Crystal's medical records. That's what this order invoking Rule 3.6 goes to -- IMO. Her medical records are not part of the public record and he doesn't want the defense attorneys releasing those records to the public or the news media. IOW, there must be some pretty good stuff in those documents.
That's what I think this is all about.
Any judge could reasonably take that tack on medical records this far out from trial, imo.
This makes sense. I had missed the context for the issuing of the ruiling.
