Florida judge sets limits on blogging
January 22, 2010
Jacksonville, Florida: On Thursday, January 21, Circuit Court Judge L. Page Haddock ordered reports to shut down blog and video coverage when he is not present, saying "If I’m in the courtroom, public business is going on, when I leave, it ceases to be a public matter." Though this is the fourth time Haddock has put such restrictions in place, many, including legal experts, are skeptical about whether or not he actually has this power.[1]
