I recall in the beginning of this case that there was a lot of effort put into steering away any conclusions that the murder had occurred actually in the school, and in the staffroom.. mainly, I think to spare the teachers, particularly and the pupils who were due to return to school in a few days. ..
About the details. The judge will be obliged , under Au Law to account for the crime and each aspect of it during the sentencing. Now.. if there is a suppression order still in effect at that time, then, possibly, no.. It would be still in effect, IF .. IF Vincent's guilty plea to the court alludes to his intended victim, other than Stephanie.. I am not so sure that it does, actually. Where the reporter picked up that snippet, probably at the courthouse, but it wasn't specifically stated that it was part of his guilty plea, makes all the difference. If it was around the traps, or gossip from a guard, or from a cranky and tired detective..... could be.
