A gag order restricts information or comments about a particular case from being made public, and according to AP such a motion was mailed by the prosecution to the defense attorneys on Wednesday. The state’s attorney office confirmed seeking a gag order but refused to issue further details.

The attorneys and families of the officers charged mostly kept silent about the case after charges were announced by Maryland State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby on May 1. The charges ranged from second-degree misdemeanor assault to “depraved-heart” murder.

The six officers charged are Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., 45; Officer William G. Porter, 25; Lt. Brian W. Rice, 41; Sgt. Alicia D. White, 30; Officer Edward M. Nero, 29; and Officer Garrett E. Miller, 26.

On Friday, White’s attorney, Ivan Bates, released a joint statement from all, urging the prosecution to release evidence in the case before seeking a gag order.

“Relative to any potential request for a gag order, if the State truly wants transparency and accountability, as they have claimed, then it is imperative that the public understand the facts and the law beyond the bald allegations publicized by Mrs. Mosby,” they wrote. “These allegations have yet to be supported by a single piece of evidence, despite repeated requests. We have made one simple repeated request: show us the evidence.”
