The judge in Eagle County, Colorado hearing sexual assault charges against Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant issued an order to protect the identity of the accuser that some are calling unconstitutional. The order bars from the courtroom any media outlet that disseminates the identity of the woman accusing Bryant of rape. First Amendment lawyers say the unorthodox order violates free speech protections.
