) - The rape trial of former Spring Hill College student Vassil Kokali is set to get under way in Mobile, but the lawyers involved in the case won’t be talking about it beforehand.
A judge has issued a partial “gag order” in the case. What makes that so unusual is that it’s the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office thatretired judge who has been tapped to help clear the Mobile County court system’s backlog of major cases, ruled that lawyers, the defendant, witnesses and others associated with the case can talk about basic facts but cannot go into details about evidence or say anything publicly that maligns the character or reputation of any of the parties.
“The purpose of this restraining order should be evident,” he wrote. “The Court is concerned that both the State of Alabama and the Defendant have a fair trial pursuant to our established rules of procedure and evidence, that the prospective jurors who will be summoned to hear this case not be exposed to pre-trial publicity to the extent that it would make it difficult to be fair and unbiased, both to the State of Alabama and to the Defendant.
