I'm just going to use the Austin/girven case for a real world example. Bianca was murdered so her family made a sort of tribute website for her. They added a list of media links and that sort of thing. Eventually Rhys was arrested and Bianca's family and friends made some comments on the site about Rhys's past behaviour, it wasn't all fabricated either (court records etc). They also made a page on facebook where people commented willy nilly about rhys (so careless!!!!). then it came to light that the defence was concerned Rhys would not be able to get a fair trial.
As well meaning as they were, trying so hard to get justice for Bianca and have a loud voice and online presence for her.... They almost unintentionally jeopardized the whole process. I might add that still hasn't gone to trial- and it was 2+years ago now.
They very promptly removed that site and the Facebook page!!!
Look at the Patel case, the Courier mail and media hype/allegations were flying everywhere couldn t have been more prejudial IMO, didn t stop anything there, it s just been innuendo and nearly totally quiet from all concerned in this case, IMO there is a lot we have nt heard yet. GBC with high profile lawyer makes hard going but if it were me, and it respectfully isn t, how long do you wait,
