Section 6-1514 - Release of information by attorneys(A) Statements Not to be Made: A lawyer shall not make an extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding. An extrajudicial statement ordinarily is likely to have such an effect when it refers to a civil matter triable to a jury, or a criminal matter or proceeding that could result in incarceration, and the statement relates to: (1) The character, credibility, reputation, or criminal record of a party, suspect in a criminal investigation, or witness, or the identity of a witness, or the expected testimony of a party or witness;(2) The performance or results of any examination or test or the refusal or failure of a person to submit to an examination or test, or the identity or nature of physical evidence expected to be presented;(3) Any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of a defendant or suspect in a criminal case or proceeding that could result in incarceration; or(4) Information the lawyer knows or reasonably should know is likely to be inadmissible as evidence in a trial and would, if disclosed, create a substantial risk of prejudicing an impartial trial.(B) Statements Which May be Made: A lawyer involved in the investigation or litigation of a matter may state without elaboration:(1) The general nature of the claim or defense;(2) Information contained in a public record;(3) That investigation of the matter is in progress, including the general scope of the investigation, the offense, claim, or defense involved, and, except when prohibited by law, the identity of the person involved;(4) The scheduling or result of any step in litigation;(5) A request for assistance in obtaining evidence and information necessary thereto;(6) A warning of danger concerning the behavior of a person involved, when there is reason to believe that such danger exists; and(7) In a criminal case, a lawyer may disclose:(a) The identity, residence, occupation, and family status of the defendant or suspect;(b) If the defendant or suspect has not been apprehended, information necessary to aid in apprehension of that person;(c) The fact, time, and place of arrest, and resistance, pursuit, and use of weapons; and(d) The identity of investigating and arresting officers or agencies and the length of that investigation.
