Let me repeat something I said in a PM yesterday when I was asked about the closed conversation.
Anything said on a public forum that could be found by anyone related to the trial carries the risk of the trial being affected by it.
As soon as I learned this was going to be the case, I pruned the thread and locked it to ensure that LFGSS isn't responsible for anyone not getting justice.
The only place where the details should be discussed are now in the court room, and people on here would be well advised that they put themselves at risk (of many things, affecting the trial, contempt, getting the trial thrown out, etc) by making uninformed statements.
The best thing I can do to protect users on here from themselves (the trolls who like to speculate) as well as the family and friends of the victim (by limiting the chances that shit said on here may result in the case being thrown out) is to lock it all down.
That is what I said yesterday, and it definitely stands.
Can you say stuff? Sure, feel free. But realise that you both do so at your own liability and risk of a legal response to your comments, and you may also put the court case in jeopardy.
It is a good idea when a court case is ongoing, to know when to shut up. This is one of those times.
