Overview

• A judge in Harris County scheduled a July 28 hearing to determine whether Kim Ogg should be held in contempt for violating a gag order in the capital murder trial of Jocelyn Nungaray.
• Ogg faces potential fines or even jail time if the court finds she willfully breached the order by publicly discussing case details.
• The gag order, tightened on June 2, bars all parties from commenting on proceedings against defendants Franklin Peña and Johan Martinez-Rangel.
• Defense attorneys flagged Ogg’s June speeches at a Kingwood Tea Party event and a Log Cabin Republicans gathering as deliberate defiance of court restrictions.
• Peña and Martinez-Rangel are Venezuelan nationals accused of raping and strangling 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in June 2024 and remain held on capital murder charges.
