https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law...r-tara-grinstead-case/QmgXoxR7VNZfT0xDfOy6eM/A gag order like this one may be constitutionally permissible in exceptional circumstances, but the record here does not reveal circumstances sufficiently exceptional to warrant such a restraint, Justice Keith R. Blackwell wrote for a unanimous Court. For that reason, we vacate the gag order.
I am sure the AJC and other media outlets will be all over it. I tried to access Irwin County court records yesterday but didn't have much luck finding a public non-pay portal in the limited amount of time I searched.Does anyone know how long it takes to get information now that the GO is lifted? Does it come from interviews or FOIA? TIA.
I think you're right about his pitiful appearance now influencing people. He was a robust, good looking young man and I'll bet BD was a follower of the more popular RD.Hi all, just catching up here to see what is the latest - how can they not set a trial date? Is that unusual? What is going on there? Are they just waiting for RD to die and then quietly make this all go away for BD?
Also, I read a lot of theories that BD is really the responsible party - is that because RD looks so sickly and beaten down? Just remember that he was likely a completely different man in 2005 - young robust and perhaps a violent angry man. I'm not fooled by appearances, now or ever. Facing your own mortality changes people, but it doesn't make him a poor scapegoat who is innocent. If anything is making BD talk more, it's arrogance that he really is going to get away with it. I don't disagree that the possibility he had a lot more involvement than he is claiming is pretty likely, but that doesn't make RD innocent.
