There is much to be said for the British practice of limiting what can be reported in the media about someone on trial until after that trial is over.
I know this isn't the main point of the piece, but it's a freaking good point. I think this idea of forbidding names and ID's in the press until cases are resolved is a good one.
I noted that also and have thought a lot about it because the Canadians enforce it and it seems to me it practically eliminates the sensationalism in these type case.
