Newsweek reporters have been banned from the Arapahoe County Justice Center, site of the Aurora, Colo., shooting trial, after the magazine published the name of a juror in the James Holmes case online in both a story and a tweet.
A visibly angry Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr., who early in the proceedings ordered the media not to publish or broadcast jurors' names, said in court Wednesday that Newsweek "should know better. It is really disappointing that something like this happened."
The issue came to the court's attention Wednesday afternoon, when Juror 737, the foreman, sent a message to the judge asking to speak with him before the sentencing phase of the trial in the movie theater shooting began.
