I do think Dr. Swamy nailed it in his interview yesterday. Subjudice was a legal term that began in England due to the fact that a jury uneducated of law was suppose to judge the case from a naked eye. In both England and India a jury no longer exist. It is a judge the makes a decisions and he has to write it in a complex legal format justifying it by precedent and statues. It was dangerous with juries because they can get influenced and not be able to judge it with a neutral eye. But in areas that have gotten rid of juries there is no way a media trial can influence a case. The people who are afraid of media propaganda are afraid that is it authentic and will reveal ugly truths about the. Also they want to bury this case so people forget about justice SSR and move on.
Let me say this America is the one of the few nations that still has a jury system. Despite that Harvey Weinstein got a media trial during the #metoo movement as did Roger Ailes. If it is a high profile case it will be covered because it includes big names. They need to accept that reality.
