District Judge Edward Chen denied the gag order requested by lead plaintiff Glen Littleton in a ruling issued Wednesday, in part because of the instructions Chen plans to issue to the jury. > "[T]hough 'jury instructions are often an ineffective remedy,' the Court finds that unlikely to be true for the instant case where the jury will be told that the Court has already found that the August 2018 tweets were false and made with the requisite scienter [knowledge of wrongdoing]," Chen wrote.
