This hearing was an attempt to shut down Floyd's free speech while allowing Fani Willis to raise her national profile among Democrats by playing her part in the witch hunt against Trump and his current presidential campaign. Now that specific guidelines are in place, Floyd can adhere to them with full transparency.
This is a serious matter because witness intimidation and public criticism of co-defendants and court officers — via social media or otherwise — can soil the justice system, which should treat everyone equally. Unfortunately, Trump's co-defendants are acting like him, and until everyone faces consequences for their attempts to tarnish the system, this concerning behavior will continue.
