A judge has scaled back restrictions for the media covering a capital murder trial in Fort Worth.
State District Judge Elizabeth Berry said Monday the media can report on everything happening in open court.
Last week she said only information discussed in front of jurors could be reported.
The Star-Telegram then pulled several tweets and blog postings about testimony given outside the jury's presence. But the newspaper challenged the judge's gag order as unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
The newspaper reports that the judge issued the new rules before a Monday hearing about the restrictions. The paper's attorney and judge discussed more details at the hearing.
Kwame Rockwell is accused of aggravated robbery and capital murder after prosecutors say he and two other men entered a Valero station on Mansfield Highway in southeast Fort Worth, robbed the check-cashing business and shot and killed a deliveryman and a store clerk.
Daniel Rojas, the store clerk, was shot in the head, and Jerry Burnett, a Mrs. Baird's deliveryman, was also shot and died in the hospital 10 days later.
