If the ban was reasonable fine. But denying individualsto knowlegde is a
crime in itself. We must educate the public by letting them know
EXACTLY what happened. What are the TRUE facts in the case? I don't
care what the opinions of the medea are. In fact it would have been
more intelligent to restrict the printing/broudcasting of opinions
and let the public know what is going on.
We must educate everyone so that this tradegy does not occur again or
at least will help people (14 yr old GIRLS) to be prepared and
perhaps use some prevention.

The opinion of the medea often is what shapes many minds of the public.
the presentation of valid FACTS will allow individuals to have a base
to decide and STILL dive Teale a fair trial. With American opinion
bambarding the net, it is less unliky.

Furthermore, the Judge could have selected one major newspaper
to be the ONLY ones allowed to print the facts witha restriction of
opinion. The highest bidderof course would be the winner of such
an honor....and help pay that debt to....

For all I care, the judge could have initiated a private printing
company to print a 5 page newsletter for 2$ that anyone can order.
The job would certainly pay for itself and certainly make some money as
well.

All this to say that there are ways to give individuals a fair trial
and at the same time inform the public SAFELY without the spreading of
the opinions of idiotic medea men whom I have very little repect for...
