Judge places restrictions on media covering pivotal Mosby pre-trial hearing

Reporters were informed today that the media will have limited access to a key hearing next week on State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s motion to dismiss the federal charges against her. Stringent rules were set forth by a court official in a conference call with reporters that brought immediate protests from media organizations, including The Brew. The chief deputy clerk for the U.S. District Court of Maryland, David E. Ciambruschini, said the press will be allotted three seats in the courtroom and seven seats will be made available for members of the public. The seats would be available to credentialed reporters on a first-come, first-served basis.
