The defense attorneys for two men accused of raping and murdering a 12-year-old girl are seeking a gag order, claiming that public officials are politicizing the case and that lab results were leaked to the media before the defense knew the results.
The two men accused of raping and killing 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray were back in court on Wednesday. 26-year-old Franklin Jose Pena and 22-year-old Johan Jose Rangel Martinez appeared in front of a judge for the arraignment. In court, both defense teams representing Pena and Martinez were asking for a gag order to be put in place. The attorneys claim public officials are politicizing the case and that lab results were leaked to the media before the defense knew the results.
"I’ve never had a case where a lab actually leaks information, so that certainly is a red flag to me," said one attorney in the courtroom.

That’s for the people to decide," said Vinas.
