re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
I know it's hard for some people not to mention it, and I do understand the sentiment, especially for a crime such as this and at this time of year.
But it keeps getting mentioned (with some mentioning it each time they post in the thread), which then causes other people to mention it too in reply, and it's starting to cause the thread to drift onto something else. Just look at the last few posts.
I don't want this thread turning into a "Why don't they bring back hanging?!" thread: It is about the murder of Joanna Yeates, not about the pros/cons of capital punishment.
If anyone does want to debate capital punishment, they can of course start a dedicated thread about it.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
I found the comments her 65 wear old landlord made to be odd, how he seemed to change his story about how many people he saw outside her door.

They now seem to be saying the landlord is the man arrested.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
I am very disturbed by the amount of coverage the guy accused of her murder is getting.
He is on almost every paper, his name printed everywhere. Every paper carrying a different profile on him commenting on his career, his hair colour, his local activist work, and carrying quotes from former pupils and neighbours about this personality.
He hasn't actually been charged, much less, convicted of a crime yet.

Trial by media - must be used to it by now in this country?

It's the way the world is these days. Whenever a girl goes missing, if she's pretty (Holly Wells/Jessica Chapman, Madeleine McCann, Claudia Lawrence, Joanna Yates etc) the media just go mad and focus on them so intently. The fact that the accused also looks media-friendly (eccentric, wild hair, pillar-of-society) also that adds a few points.
The trouble is this is what people want to see and even for the news, ratings count so they are just filling a need. If the BBC didn't, someone else would.

I agree it's how the media works.
It's scary though. Who here remembers the Ipswich murders? When the papers (Mostly The Mirror) published a picture of the initial guy arrested, complete with profile, and all ran with the idea the serial killer had been caught only for it to emerge that he was innocent?
Not only that but it was a Mirror reporter who raised suspicions about him after asking him leading questions and getting dodgy quotes.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
It's simple - he looks a bit odd and is known for acting strange. In the eyes of the media he's guilty as sin.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
The front-page headline on today's Daily Mirror is "JO SUSPECT IS PEEPING TOM". I haven't seen what the other papers say, the Mirror was all that was left when I was in ASDA [and no, I didn't buy it!].

Coverage of Yeates murder 'concerns' attorney general

The Contempt of Court Act restricts publication of information that could seriously prejudice a future trial.
Attorney General Dominic Grieve said if necessary he would take action.
In an interview for BBC Radio 4's World At One on Friday, Mr Grieve said: "We are considering what I've seen in newspapers today, and we will try to take such action as is right to ensure that the course of justice is not in any way impeded."
Former public school teacher Mr Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the flat above the one Miss Yeates had rented in Canynge Road, Bristol.
On Friday morning, police were granted a further 12 hours to question him.
Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after she was last seen on CCTV visiting an off-licence and two local supermarkets.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
From what I have read/heard about most murders is that they are likely to be committed by somebody known by the victim.

Newspaper legal training obviously isn't what it used to be. Either that, or the current generation of editors have decided if they all push the boundaries of the Contempt of Court Act together, they're more likely to get away with it.
I should also point out, as I often do in threads of this nature, that the Contempt of Court Act also applies to websites, and therefore discussion of the case on this forum, specifically any suspects, must respect that law.

Sad but true. Newspapers are more interested in a compelling narrative than in relating facts. In this case, a pretty young woman has been murdered, and the man currently in the frame is a wild-haired nutty professor. Just what the papers love.
It's worth remembering at this point that the media started making insinuations about Kate and Gerry McCann as the case dragged on and nobody was arrested over their daughter's disappearance. In the absence of any other developments, and with wall-to-wall coverage now de rigueur thanks to 24-hour news TV, the standard narrative all but demanded that the parents be responsible. A number of senior newsmen who should have known better allowed themselves to be suckered by that narrative and in the end it cost the industry a lot of embarrassment and a lot of money.

Exactly what I said to Mr T, his life will be hell. Because of all the publicity, a lot of people may think there's no smoke without fire. However he has been released on police bail.
