Few posts in here border on victim blaming. But I doubt anyone here understands that.
And that raises another question.....
How different has the response been to Grace Millane's case to that of Peter Plumley-Walker's?
I distinctly remember there being far more snide jokes about his sexuality than any real expressions of sympathy.
Some people who would deny victim blaming might claim that they were instead discussing situational awareness. Who knows but that there may be some simple minded soul actually believed that?
As for the name of the accused "leaking". It would seem that some New Zealand judges rather overestimate their importance. The rest of the world don't give a shit what some judge at the other end of the earth orders. None of which is to say I disagree with the court orders, it's just that the orders are "locals only" but the judges don't quite seem to have grasped that as yet.
It's high time the whole name suppression thing was reviewed and used much more sparingly anyway. If it's pointless why persist?

There were a great number of differences with the cases.
One was murder
One was not.
One had three trials one being a mistrial, one a hung jury and the third an acquittal.
One did not.
One was where a young female with her life ahead of her died by murder.
One was not.
One was a young tourist here from another country to travel the world.
One was not.
One was the center of an intensive week long highly published search of NZ.
One was not.
