I guess I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. She has a right to protect her sources until she is told otherwise. However, if she is forced to....a lot of people are going to get in trouble. Stories always cite "anonymous sources" for information, but if the people involved are subject to a gag order then obviously it did violate something. It's a weird situation because she has the right to protect her sources but if they are under gag order then they broke the law but it's hard to say whether she should have to reveal them. It's a bad situation all around.

It is a bad situation, but I feel that she should have disclosed the source mainly because it could affect what Holmes' plea is in the case. It is also possibly efidence both the defence and prosecution should have.
ReplyDeleteWell, since the information she holds can determine what Holmes will get as far as his sentence in prison, she should share her sources, even though she has the right to not share them.
