In a widely publicized or sensational case, the court, sua sponte or on motion of either party, may
issue a special order governing matters such as extrajudicial statements by parties and witnesses
likely to interfere with the conduct of a fair trial by an impartial jury, the seating and conduct in
the courtroom of spectators and news media representatives, the management and sequestration
of jurors and witnesses, and any other matters which the court deems appropriate.
