Counsel for the defence replies

The Melbourne Age has been playing the role of public prosecutor in the trial by newspaper of stood aside Victorian Cabinet Minister Theo Theophanous so it is appropriate that the Melbourne Herald Sun has now come forward as counsel for the defence. This morning the Hun devoted its front page to a declaration of support by Rita Theophanous for her husband when she branded the woman who accused her husband of rape as a liar out for money.
The Melbourne press is certainly giving the criminal justice system a new dimension.

I think the way the Melbourne Age behaved in naming Theophanous in the first place was quite despicable. When the press starts reporting allegations before they are proven we are getting in to a very dangerous situation.
