— HISTORY OF THE CASE —
This case appeared initially in this Court as an appeal from a so-called "gag order” passed by the Criminal Court of Baltimore (Pines, J.) dated April 29, 1981. 1 The order was sought by George Green and Willie Green (the Greens), appellees and cross-appellants, and defendants in a criminal proceeding involving allegations of a double murder, robbery, and related offenses. The Greens were upset by what they apparently felt was the prosecution’s attempt to try its case against them in the media.
