Backwoodsman BS: 'Sir' Philip Green (298* d) RE: BS: 'Sir' Philip Green 27 Oct 18


"At the very least I would like to see privacy maintained until the case has sufficient grounds to be active in a court of law."

And I suspect most fair-minded people, and I include myself here, would agree with that.

So, why shouldn't the right to such privacy be available to everyone accused of such offences - in other words, by virtue of statute - rather than continue with the current situation where it is reserved for those whom a judge believes are of sufficiently lofty social standing and/or have the financial resources?

Sauce for the goose, etc. And, of course, if every potential defendant in this kind of case was afforded anonymity as a matter of course by law, the invitation to assume - automatically in many (most?) people's minds - that people like Green have something to hide - wouldn't exist.
