When Jail is not an Option

The discussion was about a First Amendment case involving a small community newspaper publishing photos that were vital to a murder case. A 14-year-old male was charged with murder in Santa Monica. A judge forced the publishers to hand over the photos before suffering fines of $1,000 a day. The newspaper turned in the photos, but published them on the same day.
