The judge hearing the retrial has been at odds with local and national media since being assigned the case in November. WCPOScripps and other local outlets sued the judge over exceptionally strict guidelines for media coverage of the trial. The Ohio District Court of Appeals sided with WCPO in its initial suit against Ghiz, saying her restrictions which she planned to enforce via a waiver were made without any court hearing. RELATED Judge Leslie Ghiz criticized media, questionnaire release before she became Tensing trial judge. Ghiz relaxed some of her restrictions on media coverage after a hearing. She didnt, however, pass up an opportunity to put the media on blast. This is a court of law, and I think the media has forgotten that, Ghiz said. And its offensive. Im at the end of my rope with the media. Its ridiculous, and the only reason its there is to sell papers and have people click their websites, Ghiz said.

Freedom to photograph and record prospective jurors, jurors, witnesses and victims, banned by Ghiz.

However, WCPO believes it is important for journalists to be able to contact jurors and talk to them about what happened during the trial and deliberations if jurors are willing to talk. Read more about the suit here. WCPO has clear legal right to the completed questionnaires with Social Security numbers, drivers license numbers and phone numbers redacted, the suit says. If the retrial proceeds under the current order and with no completed juror questionnaires available for public inspection the public and the press will not be able to meaningfully observe the proceedings and their First Amendment rights will be eviscerated. The Ohio Supreme Court has previously ruled that juror questionnaires are public record. Ghiz threatened to throw all of the media out of her courtroom if a prospective jurors image shows up on TV, online or in print. Ghiz also named three jurors presumably by mistake during the duration of voir dire. EDITORIAL With lives at stake, the Tensing trial demands openness. Motions from the defense and the prosecution to move the trial out of town both sides blamed the media for turning the proceedings into a circus will also cast a shadow over the goings on this week. Ghiz has argued her rulings are necessary to protect jurors identity and safety and to ensure a fair trial. She had suggested that prospective jurors would decline to serve if they know their names would be released, or if they could be photographed as members of the jury.
