I have been very worried by this problem for the last 20 years.There have been very many high profile cases that I do not consider that the defendants truly had a fair trial because the case had been examined,speculated over and prejudged by journalists and papers readers all in the public eye.

Sadly I don't see the situation improving unless the Attorney General redefines what is acceptable news coverage in such cases and makes it stick.
