It's so that the trial will not be influenced by anything else to create a fair outcome, from what I understand.
According to Judge Heather Norton's May 2017 ruling against Robinson:
"This is not about free speech, not about the freedom of the press, nor about legitimate journalism, and not about political correctness. It is about justice and ensuring that a trial can be carried out justly and fairly, it's about being innocent until proven guilty. It is about preserving the integrity of the jury to continue without people being intimidated or being affected by irresponsible and inaccurate ‘reporting’, if that’s what it was."

It looked like he wasn't doing much of anything but his presence freaked authorities out...........
