Re: Ann Widdecombe has died, murder suspected
Have the Mail might have strayed into dodgy legal territory in their haste to name him?
Quote:
The sub judice rule regulates the publication of matters which are under consideration by the court.
Matters are considered to be sub judice (Latin for 'under judgment') once legal proceedings become active.
Criminal proceedings are deemed active once a person is arrested, a warrant for arrest has been issued, a summons has been issued or a person has been charged and remain active until conviction.
