: Legal Pad | LAJudge orders L.A. Times photographer to stop taking photos at arraignment, despite prior permission
By Richard Binder
Alberd Tersargyan was in court for a scheduled arraignment on multiple murder counts in connection with the slayings of four people from 2008 to 2010. Prior to the arraignment, Judge Hilleri G. Merritt approved a written request by Los Angeles Times photographer Al Seib to take pictures of Tersargyan.
During the hearing, however, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Eric Harmon reminded the judge about a prior order that banned the taking of photographs and video. Although he didn't object to the photos being taken, Deputy Public Defender Patricia Mulligan did.
Merritt told Seib to immediately stop taking photos and to not publish the ones he'd already taken. Is this a First Amendment issue about to brew? Lucy Dalglish of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press suggests it may be.
