State of Ohio ex rel. the Cincinnati Enquirer v. Honorable Donald E. Oda II, Case No. 2018-0506
Twelfth District Court of Appeals (Warren County)

ISSUES:
- When a gag order is directed at trial participants in a criminal case and not to media outlets, is there less consideration of free speech rights in determining whether there is substantial probability that absent the gag order, a fair trial may be compromised?
- If there is a lower standard, did a trial judge make sufficient findings to support the issuance of a gag order?
