Likewise, nothing I've seen here is suggesting anything like guilty until proven innocent.
Sub Judice is not just about whether you call the accused guilty or not. It's about publishing information that could influence the opinion of a juror of the character of the accused and bias any judgement without that information being tested in court. So reporting things that have been covered in court in front of the Jury is fine, as with talking about what police have released to the public. Earlier in the thread there were a number of comments about past occurrences in work and personal life that may not be in evidence yet and therefore possibly crossing the line. Anything of that nature should be provided to the police for evidence, not released in a public forum that can be trolled by press for information.
