Just to be clear, I am adding additional wording of the Judge, so everyone knows what is expected.
"Obvious examples of publications that may create a relevant risk are those dealing with the defendant's history and background, whether medical or otherwise, and his relationship with Mrs Maguire or other teachers at the school, or with his parents or other young persons."
Under English law, any child involved in court proceedings is entitled to anonymity. Normally, that means media cannot name their school or college.
But the judge agreed with Greaney that it would be absurd for reports to omit that the charges related to Maguire's death at Corpus Christi on Monday.

This will be much different than how we handle US cases. Here, any social media of the defendant will not be allowed to be linked, defendant's name may not be used, pictures may not be posted. Discussion of any mental illnesses or speculation about mental illness will not be allowed.
It is going to be very different, so please be aware and post accordingly.
Thanks,
Salem
