LOS ANGELES (AP) -- On the eve of grand jury proceedings in the Michael Jackson molestation case, the presiding judge of the Santa Barbara courts barred pictures or communication with any prospective or final panelists, or grand jury witnesses.

Superior Court Judge Clifford R. Anderson III did not mention Jackson's name in his order Wednesday, but acknowledged a grand jury summoned this week "has created significant media and public interest."

The order threatens to hold in contempt anyone who communicates with a juror, prospective grand juror or witness - or reveals secret testimony. It also prohibits photography of jurors or prospective jurors entering and exiting the courthouse and "any other facility or property utilized by the grand jury."

Media lawyers immediately protested, calling the order "overbroad and unconstitutional prohibition of activity protected under the First Amendment and California law." They said the courthouse and its environs have long been recognized as a public forum.

"I've not seen an order so broad and so sweeping," said attorney Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., who represents several media organizations including The Associated Press.
