Wow. It took until the 16th comment to see a FReeper who “got it.” I agree: consign these freaks to oblivion. Wish ALL news shows would do this.
See post 23.
Do you really wish ALL news shows would select what we may and may not know?
Releasing the name puts the community on notice, especially of the person is released on bail or gets out of prison later.
It allows for members of the public, who may have relevant information, to come forward.
Glorifying the suspect is a secondary consideration. It is not juts the release of the name, it is the amount of articles, repeating news for 24 hours, how the trial is covered, and so on; not just the release of the name.
—A FReeper who actually gets it.
