    Should be a blanket ban on banking people before convictions - Joe Public has no concept of the phrase 'innocent until proven guilty'.

    After a conviction, sure - no problem.

    It's frightening how many people think that "charged" is just another word for "guilty".

    What difference does it make, whether the charged party is named or not?

    It certainly has made no difference to me.

    No that may well be but I do get the point of been named before your day in court....

    Many a reputation has been destroyed to lies or wrongful arrest....

    The phrase ''no smoke without fire'' comes to mind. Not saying in this case, mind you, but in general. Such a dangerous mindset.
