The judge presiding over the trial for the man accused of killing a youth baseball coach has banned yellow clothing inside the courtroom.

Jamal L. Smith faces multiple charges related to the shooting death of Jay Boughton on July 6, 2021. When testimony began on Monday, dozens of Boughton's family, friends and ballplayers were in attendance at the Hennepin County Courthouse, all of them dressed in yellow shirts.

In a court order filed Tuesday, Judge Nicole Engisch wrote that "courtroom attendees shall not display yellow clothing as a group."
