What a country.
Placing a ban on newspapers reporting the circumstances and detention of a walking, talking, singing Lethal Weapon that seems to have no conscience.
Yes Zimmer, they have this thing in Germany and in many other countries.. a think called legal rights. You know the right to a fair trial is part of that.... I know it is an alien concept to American's but in many areas of Europe we actually believe and cherish this principle. That is why most courts have the legal ability to ban the media from reporting names, circumstances and so on, so not to damage the fairness of the trial.. especially if it is a jury trial. Just think if the US courts had closed off media access to the O.J. trial, the Michael Jackson trial.. just think the difference that could have made.
As for the singer .. piece of scum, but the AIDs spokeswoman has a point. The men could have just put on a freaking condom so they are to blame too. That of course does not mean she should not have pointed out her situation... she should and she will pay for her crime.
