Supreme Court limits pretrial reporting in Nebraska murder case
Justice Blackmun ruled a county judge overstepped by imposing a media ban on reporting confessions and some prosecutor statements in the Erwin Simants mass murder case. He left intact a ban on reporting the defendant’s arrest details and criminal record, while voiding the judge’s mandatory trial coverage guidelines as overly vague.
