PRESS REBUFFED

Judge Lance Ito refused to release to the press several photos of the bodies of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman, because descriptions of the images might bias a jury. "There's a tension between the First Amendment right to a free press and the Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial," says TIME legal affairs reporter Andrea Sachs. "In this case there was a slight rebuff to the press." Ito also refused to release some court transcripts.
