In Episode 113, we address the 6/23/23 order denying in part and granting in part the Goncalves family motion by and through their counsel Shannon Gray and Mr. Gray's own motion seeking relief from the non-dissemination order. The Court makes it clear that this non-dissemination order is not directed toward the Gonclaves family, but that does bind Mr. Gray.
