The Daily Globe has lost the first round in its effort to protect a reporter and her notes from an inquisition.
The matter concerns information from a jailhouse interview with Samuel Bonilla, who is charged with shooting two men in the Arkansas River bed.
District Judge Daniel Love ruled Wednesday that reporter Claire O'Brien will have to testify at a later hearing, but he did not set a date for it. That hearing, known as an inquisition, would be closed to the public.
Inquisitions are rarely employed as investigative tools and almost never in Ford County.
