“We also find that this statute is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of our judicial system. “A state may adopt safeguards necessary and appropriate to assure that the administration of justice at all stages is free from outside control and influence.” Cox v. Louisiana, 379 U.S. 559 , 85 S.Ct. 476 , 13 L.Ed.2d 487 (1965). Such necessary safeguards are justified restrictions upon the constitutionally protected right of free speech. Cox v. Louisiana, supra. Thus we find the statute to be constitutional.”
