Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill issued a gag order Thursday to all attorneys participating in the trial of four Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd, the voice of America reported.
The order comes a day after two or more attorneys granted interviews or talked to the news media about the case, the judge said.
Minneapolis-based newspaper The Star Tribune confirmed Thursday that at least two of the attorneys, Earl Gray and Thomas Plunket, spoke to the publication on Wednesday about Gray’s motion to dismiss charges against his client, Thomas Lane.
In his statement, Cahill explained that continued public pretrial discussion by the individuals involved in the case “will impair all parties’ right to a fair trial” and potentially contaminate the jury pool.
