Chris Brown
Presumably even if this guy doesnt do time, his career is 100% over now.
Which is fair enough and if things are what the seem to be not the least of what he deserves.... but he should be entitled to a fair trial and face the judgment that is handed down from that. Already Jay Z is leaking death threats to him into the press.
Is it really acceptable that this level of reporting is allowed before a (probably) court case?
In the UK it wouldnt be and details of the alleged crime would not be published in the media until after the case is heard (as as not to prejudice the case)... freedom of information is important but I think this is another time when there are sensible reasons to limit it at least in the short term.
