In the emotionally charged case of sex offender John Gardner and the deaths of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois, the legal question of need to know versus right to know is prevalent with the gag order surrounding the case. Dan Gilleon explains more on KUSI-TV in San Diego.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 5, 2010 -- Attorney Daniel Gilleon of the San Diego law firm Mitchell | Gilleon (http://www.mglawyers.com) recently appeared on KUSI TV’s morning news program to discuss the intricacies and balances that must be identified and distinguished in regards to the right of free speech in an emotionally-charged legal situation versus the right of a family that was traumatized by the murder of a loved one. The issue dealt with the San Diego case of John Gardner and the accusations against him in regards to the murders of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois.
The free speech issue arose in regards to a proposed ruling by the trial judge on a gag order that had been issued to protect the gruesome details of the cases being brought against the defendant. The balancing act that exists between the freedom of speech rights and the need of the community to know the details of the murders versus the families’ rights to protect those details from the public is a decision that’s common in highly publicized murder trials.
Attorney Gilleon offered insights on this balancing act and the difficulty of the judge’s decision on KUSI TV in San Diego on the morning of April 22, and Mr. Gilleon provided the legal framework for viewers concerning the aspects of law that the judge needed to consider before issuing a final ruling.
