BARTOW, Fla. (AP) - A judge wants everyone involved with the
notorious videotaped beating of central Florida teen to keep their
mouths shut.
A Polk County judge issued a gag order Wednesday in the case
against eight teens charged in the videotaped beating of a
16-year-old female classmate.
Parents of some of the teens and Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd
appeared on national TV shows discussing the case this week.
Judge J. Michael McCarthy was critical of the sheriff's decision
to distribute part of the video, which has now been viewed widely
on national TV and the Internet.
Judd issued a statement saying he'll appeal the judge's ruling.
