Yeah that'll work. Re-traumatise actual victims repeatedly and in the media too boot, so that people in this position never report the crime

Or not report on it until the person involved is convicted? Not sure we need to know that someone remotely famous is accused

Did they name the woman who revenge porned toe sucker Staggs?

Gag orders are a lot more difficult than anonymity.

Besides, a conviction or not doesn't necessarily mean that something didn't happen. If a true accusation doesn't hold up in court, should that person be trotted through the media as a liar? How do you control for that? Ultimately in most of these cases the only people who really know what happened are the people involved.

Surely it's just easier to not name. Tbh I'd also be fine with not naming either party, or not publicising the hearing.

So there are no fans who that call JDB a rapist?

or Sailor?

I am all for the world to know Hayne and May are criminal grubs. Not sure the whole process needs to be public

Yes that's correct that's what the last line of my post says

What is wrong with this merkin magistrate, doesnt he know what he's inflicting on us all with a not guilty verdict? Is it too late to bribe him to change his verdict?

It's almost better that this merkin wasn't found guilty.

Maybe he can learn a few lessons about throwing players under the bus without due process first.
He'd have to have an ounce of emotional intelligence and morals for that to happen, dont hold your breath!

Surely he can’t be some moral crusader now. What ounce of credibility he had previously has evaporated. He will need to change his style.
there has been plenty before him!
I mean he had already been done for drunk driving so not like he was lilly white before this!
