Judge Merritt Flip Flops on in Court Photos
Judge Hilleri G. Merritt approved of a written request to allow LAT photographer Al Seib to take pictures of the trial of Alberd Tersargyan who is accused of killing four people.
Then she decided she didn’t want that.
LAT Andrew Blankstein reports:
When the judge asked whether the photographs could affect potential interviews or testimony by witnesses, Harmon told her it was possible but did not object to the photographs.
Deputy Public Defender Patricia Mulligan, one of the attorneys who unsuccessfully argued for a gag order in the case, told Merritt she objected to Tersargyan being photographed.
