- I have no trouble with the publication of the names of the accused. I
- have a lot of trouble with the publication of their addresses. I realize
- this may be standard policy for NEWSDAY, but not all newspapers follow
- such a policy.
-
- After the indictments were publicized, media representatives camped out
- on the doorsteps of the defendants in order to get statements from them,
- even though such statements, including exculpatory ones, could be used
- at trial. Is there any doubt that publication of these defendants
- addresses made this easier?
