Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2015 7:11 pmDifficult to see how you even accomplish this, but I think in a just world, people who are arrested for some terrible crime and then acquitted wouldn't have a slew of news stories about it when you google their name.

Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2015 7:31 pmI'd be all for that. Especially when the 24 hour news networks latch onto a random murder trial like Scott Peterson (who was found guilty) or Casey Anthony (who was acquitted) I just can't help but think that their lives are f**k ruined anyway. The verdict will just determine if it's a ruined life in prison or a ruined life outside of prison. We protect the identity of victims in criminal cases, so why not the accused? It really calls into question how much we believe in presumption of innocence.
