John Allen Muhammad tries to block Moose's book

TalkLeft links to "Sniper suspect's lawyers try to postpone publication of police chief's book":

In a request filed in federal court, attorney Thomas Mann said Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose has ''strategically planned the launch of his book just prior to Muhammad's trial in an attempt to obtain as much money as possible from the results of his official investigation.''

I don't know whether past attempts to ban books about on-going trials have been successful or not, but I think I can predict Mrs. Moose's reaction based on past events:

Instead of following the law, he and his big-mouthed wife, an image consultant and CEO of Chief Moose Inc., have hurled reckless charges of racism at county employees. Mrs. Moose whined to the panel that the couple resented having to answer to "a fully white group to give him permission to make some money." She likened her spouse to Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela as a civil-rights trailblazer who "stood for principle."
