    Another great NZ judicial decision

    Good to see another great NZ judgement with the judiciary sticking up for (going against) the wishes of victims.

    What purpose does it serve naming these men, other than them and families now being likely to face hounding from the media... they already risked their lives is that not enough?



    Name suppression has been lifted on four police officers who received gunshot injuries in a Bay of Plenty stand-off.

    All five wanted the interim name suppression order to continue, their concerns including ongoing recovery and future safety at work being compromised if their identities were made public.

    In making the judgement to lift the suppression order Judge Brewer declared sympathy for the group, but did not agree that transparency over who they were "would be likely to cause them undue hardship". The judge also stated pre-trial orders would lapse on the first day of Warren's trial.

    "The complainants did their duty on behalf of the public in a very dangerous situation. Four of them were wounded. I cannot imagine that this will not be recognised by the news media," Brewer ruled.

    The ruling also stated White's 9-year-old daughter had not been told the full circumstances of what happened to her father, on the grounds White believed it would be "detrimental to her emotional and psychological wellbeing".

    There is but it doesn't cover her situation. It's normally applied to crimes involving violence. It's not uncommon to see a report that a judge issued a strike against to a crim at sentencing.
