Judge Rolls Back Gag Order in Attorney's Domestic Assault Case

After the Portland Press Herald defied a gag order, a judge presiding over a domestic assault case involving an attorney retracted the order, the newspaper's Scott Dolan reports: "'It is certainly very clear to me that this particular order was not lawful, and I should not have ordered the media to refrain from reporting what was said,”' Judge Jeffrey Moskowitz said in a Portland courtroom. It was the testimony of the lawyer's 34-year-old ex-girlfriend that the judge ordered not to be reported.
