Originally posted by LondonManc View PostHe was on TV today talking about it. It's hung over him for 22 months and he's not been charged, let alone had a court case brought against him. As he has suggested should happen, you should remain anonymous until charged at the very least; I'd say until your case goes to court.
If they couldn't announce names until people where charge the police would charge people with something just to get their names in the public domain, then drop the charges.
The police and CPS want to put the best cases forward and in the cases of Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall they could only do this by announcing their names before charging them. In the case of Rolf Harris they had more victims they could use but chose the most convincing cases to put forward.
In the case of Cliff Richard the Beeb were unfair and should be sued."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostIN that case, why not withhold names until conviction, if any?
There the issue of having a fair trial. For example some jurors are stupid and are influenced by what they hear in the media rather than paying attention to the evidence in front of them. Once some one is convicted the media can report exactly what happened so if there were new charges of the same nature there is a risk the person will just be found guilty or innocent due to what happened before.
A fair trial also includes not leaving people with extra charges hanging over their head for years not knowing when they will be dealt with, and not taking them to court repeatedly.
Finally it saves money for both sides."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Before the CPS can decide that someone should be charged there are a number of tests the case must pass, including on the evidence (amount and validity).
So, once again, you're posting crap as if it is fact.Comment
