i think there is a slight difference between not being allowed to report it ever, and needing to wait until all results are in

2018-05-25 16:10:07 UTC  

I don't think there is

2018-05-25 16:10:41 UTC  

there's no responsibility, really, for the press NOT to report on it as soon as it knows. at least here in the US

2018-05-25 16:10:52 UTC  

there is no NDA, no security clearance

2018-05-25 16:10:54 UTC  

etc

2018-05-25 16:11:13 UTC  

so, you propose the media can report on the findings, then, because you can't keep a jury that isolated for a year, let off everyone in the September trail because there is no unbiased jury?

2018-05-25 16:11:14 UTC  

that would be speech suppression by the goverment.. basically

2018-05-25 16:11:37 UTC  

or do we detain the jury all year

2018-05-25 16:11:44 UTC  

no, i would not fucking have a trial so far out if the information leaking could affect the outcome

2018-05-25 16:12:05 UTC  

well true

2018-05-25 16:12:40 UTC  

but some fuckwad made that choice (or maybe they are too busy putting people on trail for hate speech to do it any sooner), so now what?

2018-05-25 16:13:01 UTC  

This is basically victim blaming

2018-05-25 16:13:03 UTC  

btw

2018-05-25 16:13:19 UTC  

i....wut

2018-05-25 16:13:22 UTC  

oh you're the victim of knowledge and you shared it, you goto jail

2018-05-25 16:13:41 UTC  

because we can't be sensible in our court proceedings

2018-05-25 16:13:55 UTC  

not victim of knowledge, but you get what I'm saying

2018-05-25 16:14:07 UTC  

are you a leftist?

2018-05-25 16:14:08 UTC  

anyway, I think it's BS in either case

2018-05-25 16:14:14 UTC  

"you did an action, but you are the victim"

2018-05-25 16:14:14 UTC  

haha no

2018-05-25 16:14:26 UTC  

>you shared it

that is an action

2018-05-25 16:14:43 UTC  

it would be victim blaming if you jailed the jury for hearing it

2018-05-25 16:14:44 UTC  

an action I don't deem illegal...

2018-05-25 16:15:02 UTC  

sharing information, in this case, isn't illegal..

2018-05-25 16:15:31 UTC  

i.e. reporting on the trial, possbily the verdict.. that wouldn't be illegal here, regardless

2018-05-25 16:15:40 UTC  

hence why the jury is usually instructed to not watch the media

2018-05-25 16:16:09 UTC  

so you can't arrest media for that, and TR is media in this case.. so our first amendment should protect what he was doing

2018-05-25 16:16:47 UTC  

well in this case, not watch the media (for a year), talk to family (for a year), talk to colleagues (for a year). Since we are here, because some fuckwad (the person who should really be sent to jail) split this up across a year. What are the options?

2018-05-25 16:17:02 UTC  

also, this is in the UK

2018-05-25 16:17:06 UTC  

not supressing the media is not an option

2018-05-25 16:17:08 UTC  

again I know this

2018-05-25 16:17:16 UTC  

I'm talking about what would happen here and why I think it's wrong

2018-05-25 16:17:21 UTC  

i agree, this shit really wouldn't fly here

2018-05-25 16:17:34 UTC  

and also, that happens all the time in jury trials, jury sequesters

2018-05-25 16:18:00 UTC  

265 days for the OJ trial.

2018-05-25 16:18:09 UTC  

so there's your answer of what happens here

2018-05-25 16:18:13 UTC  

which one, his first or second?

2018-05-25 16:18:20 UTC  

first

2018-05-25 16:18:30 UTC  

the murder trial
