““There can be no doubt that the State has a substantial interest in ensuring the fairness of judicial proceedings.... This interest does not belong to the defendant alone. The public also has an interest in a fair trial that cannot be imperiled or diminished by out-of-court assertions by either defense or prosecution lawyers- Thus, courts have recognized that restricting the extra-judicial statements of criminal defense attorneys relates to the government’s substantial interest in preserving the proper administration of justice and the basic integrity of the judicial process.” (Citations omitted).”
