So you think someone should publish all files of all cases before the cases go to court? Let everything in civil & criminal cases in the country get a full airing?
Someone copied files to ongoing criminal investigations & released them to the media. Some people in the DoD could not even look at those files, as it would have messed with the judge that will be in charge of the case & the jury pool who will have to rule on it.
Part of our system includes getting a "fair" trial. When every one of the perps gets off, cuz technically, there was no longer anything resembling an untainted judge or jury to hear the case. Care to splain to me why the publics right to know everything as soon as the media gets it's hands on it is greater than our right to have criminal cases handled properly?

The 'perp's' (gotta love that term) will be tried by a Military Court.
It looks at some things a little different than a civilian court....and those pictures being published will NOT keep the 'perp's' from spending a lot of time in Leavenworth.

Make sure you recall all that are here on FR praising the illegal media release of files and evidenciary photos before and Court Martials and/or criminal trials.
Then when the defense attorneys, trial judge(s), and or appeals court(s) throw out much of the prosecution evidence as tainted, inflaming, and/or prejudicial to the defendants and they get limited charging, prosecution, conviction, sentence, or even the ol' OJ verdict toss it back in their smug knowing faces.
Lots of armchair Constitutional and legal procedure experts on this and other threads and in the media and Congress.
Slick taught Constitutional Law in Arkansas but during his impeachment proceedings claimed he was not really a Constitutional scholar.
That was an understatement.
This was a classic defense attorney move using surrogates to unlawfully release evidence wilfilly, knowingly, and maliously without getting his/her butt disbarred.
There is some XHD money and power flowing behind the scenes on this "atrocity scamdal".
Lots of beltway shysters with mega experience in manipulating the system.
The money is not on this, it is on bigger things later.
