Aurora Sentinel: An Adams County District Court judge on Monday prohibited photography and media activity in the hallway outside of the courtroom where two Aurora paramedics are on trial for their roles in the death of Elijah McClain.
The expansion of an order which barred cameras and other electronic devices inside of the courtroom came after journalists allegedly tried to ask the defendants and other parties to the case questions in the hallway. An unknown journalist also allegedly approached a juror who was shopping and invited them to talk after the case.
“This action is a direct invitation for the juror to ignore the Court’s repeated order not to speak with anyone about the case and (is) an invitation for contempt proceedings,” the order from 17th Judicial District Court Judge Mark Warner reads in part.
