The judge who presided over the Ana Kriegel trial has decided to restrict the number of journalists allowed to attend her killers’ sentence hearing.

No more than five journalists will be allowed into the courtroom for their sentence hearing in October.
At a brief hearing today, the judge also agreed to allow edited versions of the their probation reports to be given to both defence teams.
