It was cancelled because JB forgot he had another case to attend to.:doh:

*snip*
Prosecutors are seeking a gag order in Casey Anthony's murder case. A hearing was scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. Monday but due to a scheduling conflict it was canceled. A new hearing date will take place at a later date.

The state wants to bar attorneys on both sides, Orange County sheriff's investigators and the parents of the mother from making any statements to the media about the case involving first-degree murder charges for Casey Anthony.

Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter.

The judge on national Fox was interviewed about the gag order. He says it's hard for a judge to impose a gag order because of the public's right to now laws. He says the state is probably asking for this now because they desperately do not want a mistrial for a tainted jury. The newspaper will argue against it based on the first amendment and Florida's wide freedom on information act.

Right. With florida and their sunshine law, I bet it would be real hard in this state to get a gag. Also, WFTV & another station already filed a motion to not grant it. Here it is:

I say let the A's talk, let JB talk. They have done nothing so far to help their case, only hurt it, so let them talk til they can't talk anymore.
