UK & Commonwealth tradition v. US laws

Fragment of a discussion from Comments:Scottish Justice Secretary 'acutely aware of unusual publicity' in Kular case

"I don't believe some of the assertions I'm seeing above are proven. Namely, that because photos of arrested/charged people are published in the press, people standing trial in the US can't receive a fair trial or that such publication will prejudice a trial."

If that's how my words are being interpreted I see no point in even reading the rest of this thread, I'm afraid. Read the article (and the one preceding). It's a peculiarity of Scots process catching out publications used to applying the same standards to a different system south of the border.
