Absolutely. Let's face it, it's not that long ago that a trial was abandoned because the Mirror printed an article from (I believe) the father of the victim, that would have blatantly prejudiced the jury - I'm afraid I can't remember the exact details.
If the vast majority of newspapers in this country didn't constantly strive to find the most sensational angle to any story, we might actually let the police and courts get on with their jobs...
