News doesn't tend to report when things are the same as they were yesterday. If his lawyers aren't talking to the press, and the prosecutors aren't talking to the press, and the trial won't start for another month, what exactly are the reporters going to report on?
There are whole genre dedicated to court cases and legal speculation, news reporting also gets ramped up to 11 when celebrities are involved.
