The jury was free to read or watch anything about the case. There were no limitations, if there were they would've been very little. This case made the Supreme Court realize that there needs to be gag orders and restrictions. The press played too much of a part during this trial. Before the trial even ended the media decided to say that Dr. Sheppard was guilty. Even though the majority of the jurors said that the media did not effect their decision, it did. The jurors were communicating with their families and other people about the case when they shouldn't have.

The limitations on the press were little to none. This case made the Supreme Court more aware of what could happen if there was no limits.

Why did Justice Black dissent in Sheppard v Maxwell 1966?

Just Black dissented because of his absolutist belief that Congress shall make "no law" abridging the freedom of speech, and probably because of a similarly absolute view on the constitutional mandate of a "public" trial under the Sixth Amendment. He did not believe that the Constitution provides the right to a "fair trial" above the provisions in the Bill of Rights.
