| 766459 | 2009-04-20 04:15:00 | if you read newspapers, sometimes they say "we have decided not to name the defendent", and then when you google the court case they are talking about, you cannot find the name of the defendent. So how does the newspaper know the defendent's name? Do you physically have to be in court to hear the defendent's name or is there a non-public website you can go to? | lance4k (4644) | ||

| 766461 | 2009-04-20 08:33:00 | Of course, if you go to the Court, then you would find out their name. Name suppression is when the media or someone else know that persons name and can't reveal it to the public. In some rare cases, even the media isn't allowed in the courtroom so in that case only the Court officials would know the name. |
