Vail Daily: Judge Rachel J. Olguin-Fresquez, on Tuesday, issued a gag order preventing the media from reporting on the reverse-transfer and preliminary hearings for 17-year-old Nefi Ezequiel Armijo Hernandez, who is accused of first-degree murder following the death of 14-year-old Jackson Davis in April of 2024.

The Vail Daily has filed a motion with the court asking Olguin-Fresquez to lift the gag order, arguing that the judge’s order constitutes an unconstitutional prior restraint.

Steve Zansberg, a prominent media lawyer who filed the motion on behalf of the Vail Daily, argued that once information is disclosed in open court, it becomes part of the public record and cannot be constitutionally suppressed.
