After charges are filed it’s not wise to offer comments since that might give comfort to a defence lawyer, agreed. Before charges are laid you are open to a defamation suit. Its in the aftermath of a conviction or confession that defamation becomes moot because its not really possible to defame a double murderer.

I am given to understand that there is going to be more to this saga than has yet been alleged publicly. If so, its going to be awful, and the media will have a field day for years.
