Show Notes
The Supreme Court has rejected Texas journalist Priscilla Villarreals appeal, known as La Gordiloca, who was arrested in 2017 for sharing nonpublic information about a suicide victim and car accident family on Facebook. Despite free speech groups and media outlets rallying behind her, a divided Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted immunity to the officials she sued, leaving Villarreal without a path to sue and highlighting tensions over journalist protections and police information access in Texas.
