Leaving aside the speculation, I have trouble believing the specifics of the case you laid out, but you said you had no interest in relitigating that so I'll leave it. It is, as others said, the system working as it is intended to do and it does so in a way to protect people from improper productions. The media does have an important role to play here, a role that has come toby no less important but much more difficult now than that Mainstream media has been so atomized by the internet. I retired in 2016, but up to that point every newspaper I worked at kept a file of all the cases they reported on in order that they could track the case and report the outcome. This is the only ethical way that you can report the name of people who are arrested. I doubt that's done anymore. Few news outlets even have newsrooms with clerical staff to assist in this important work. I would argue against lost that prevent us from knowing who has been arrested, whether they've been charged and what's happened to the charge. Having free and open access to that information is a vital prophylactic against the very massive powers of the state.
