    It was interesting to hear about the way that the media reported on the death of Avril's stepson Julian, hopefully the attention has reduced now, and thankfully it happened before the rise of your next witness Jimmy Wales' wikipedia.

    Now for people caught up in some media storm we have wikipedia that will collect the most salacious and gruesome aspects of a death or murder, store up every bit of gossip about family and close friends that the media might make passing reference to, and present it as encyclopaedic facts, alongside articles on soap powder.

    Think I jest then take a look at which is used from time to time to beat up on Scientology. A personal family tragedy used for political point scoring.

    Or look at what was being done with a suspect in the Joanna Yeats murder earlier this year

    OTOH talk about the WMF COO that was a felon on the website anyone can edit and you'll soon find yourself banned

    By listenning to PM i learned from the step-mother that there are supportive charities and the Police treat them to two family liason officers. Are their liason officers for those who are denied recognition, effectualy gagged and denied the human right of communication(Even Citizens Advice wont discuss gagging injunctions)

    Has the transcript been released? I have not managed to read it yet

    I am not being callous, I live in neighbourhood of Milly Dowler and Sarah Payne so I do understand their need for publicity in the hunt for the killer.

  • Comment number 3.

    How many investigative journalists have managed to interview a gagged individual?
    Has any rich and famous person been gagged?
    Any support offered to these untouchables would by definition be contempt. I was not criticising C.A.B.
