Don't all criminals start off as "accused"? Truly, offending someone who has been "accused" of a violent crime really wouldn't be my first concern. Forget privacy! The Nichols case is a perfect example of the "accused" being treated in a way so not to "offend".
Exactly.
But you're supposed to say "alleged" or "accused".....in my book, if the police have enough reason to arrest you and throw you in jail, you don't get any privacy.
