Identification of a suspect before being charged: legitimate freedom of speech or a threat to a fair trial?

Burgess, Craig Neilson January 2005 (has links)
Identification of a person suspected of a heinous crime before being charged risks prejudicing a fair trial. Present laws place this type of publicity outside the reach of sub judice contempt. This thesis argues there should be a change in the law of sub judice contempt making it an offence for the media to publish the fact that a person is under investigation until the person has been charged.
