No. A-1305


Decided July 29, 1974
419 U.S. 1301

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY

Syllabus

Application for stay of Louisiana trial court’s order restricting media coverage of trials of defendants accused of committing highly publicized rape and murder is granted pending the timely filing and disposition of a petition for certiorari in this Court, where the order imposed pervasive restraints of uncertain duration, and where alternative means for protecting the defendants’ rights to a fair trial appear to have been available to the trial court.
