Fair Trial/Free Press Conference: Gag Orders, Anonymous Juries, and the Media
Judges, journalists, attorneys, and law enforcement
officials discussed the rights, responsibilities, and liability of the media,
courts, and law enforcement in a fictional criminal trial during the Fair
Trial/Free Press Conference: Gag Orders, Anonymous Juries, and the Media, on
Friday, November 3, 2023, at Albany Law School.
The program explored the legal, political, and ethical
issues that could arise in a hypothetical scenario in which a fictional
gubernatorial candidate was indicted on federal financial fraud charges and a
turbulent trial ensued. Panelists discussed the interplay of the Sixth
Amendment right to a fair trial and First Amendment rights to attend and report
on trials, including social media, gag orders, anonymous juries, police
conduct, and protection of the press and its sources. The full scenario is
