STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A Payne County judge has lifted part of a gag order involving charges filed after the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade crash.
Associate District Judge Luis Duel said Tuesday that he was rescinding a part of the gag order prohibiting families and parties to the case from discussing it. However, he said documents regarding the physical or mental health of defendant Adacia Chambers will remain sealed.
Duel issued the gag order Nov. 9 at the request of prosecutors. Defense attorney Tony Coleman and the Oklahoma Press Association each filed motions asking that it be lifted.
The 25-year-old Chambers is charged with four counts of second-degree murder and 46 counts of assault and battery. Prosecutors say she drove into a crowd of people near the end of the Oct. 24 parade.
