Name Suppression ... When should it be applied ?

[Al Khalifah]

When found guilty. Often the slur of being named as a suspect in a serious crime is just as damaging to a person as actually being convicted. Naming someone before they are found guilty by a jury just leads to that person being found guilty and convicted by the media.

Since trials should always be open to the public, I would have to say when charged.
I think that the trials are important for the public. It's also the responsibility of the state to get a lost conviction published.
Nobody should have to fear the legal process.

I agree with the general sentiment. Theres no reason to drag someone through the mud before they are found guilty.
