I assume it is perfectly legal to discuss that the Argus have reported something, which is a statement of fact? I won't say names in case that isn't right, but surely the fact they've reported something is the story and not the accusation?

the problem with that is, if the Arsegas has put up something that's defamatory, then repeating it here *could* have ramifications. Best just to stick to the requests not to mention it until the case is over.

Good plan

Just seen the report in the Argus. Seems a desperate attempt to deflect. I'm hoping justice will be done and seen to be done.

All over the BBC news at 4, it will be interesting if Mr X has evidence to back up his claims
Let's not get dragged in to speculation that might end in a mistrial which would be a disaster.

Suffice to say that I doubt any person would keep quiet and withholding credible information about the dreadful murder of two children.

I just want justice to be done. Not so keen on it being seen to be done, as that can interfere with the former.

People say nothing for all sorts of reasons. Fear and stupidity, and sometimes both together, being two.

There's me thinking this would be a yes/no/don't like to talk about it poll.

I'm pretty sure the claim was presented on here as a rumour once. It's where I remember first hearing it.

I certainly don't want to get myself, Bozza or NSC in any trouble, but just talking at work at lunch, another individual has been accused of two high profile murders in open court, and as a result this is being reported across all media platforms.

Does the individual, Mr X, have any means of redress when he's eventually exonerated?

Can he sue the barrister?

Surely the Judge should have made the Defence barrister withdraw the remark and imposed reporting restrictions ?

Mr X is not on trial Mr Y is.

Out of interest, were Mr Y to be found guilty and jailed (or indeed be found innocent, but nevertheless still go to jail to complete a sentence for another similar offence), and were he then to become the victim of an unfortunate accident in his cell / the shower / etc., resulting in his early demise... would you, if asked, accept the job of dealing respectfully with whatever pieces of his body remained?
