[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 80588"] "...A former international rugby player appeared in the Christchurch..." This is the vital part of the article. If it was a former All Black they would have said that. I would expect that it is a player from another country who is based in Christchurch. You'd expect that they would still be playing as well. Name suppression is very important as it protects the person that is being charged from adverse publicity that is disproportinate from the crime. After all the charged person has to be afforded the presumption that they are innocent until proven otherwise. If a fraudulent charge is levelled at a high-profile player it has the potential to destroy, or seriously hinder their career and earning capacity. The Woman's refuge organisations are just going to have to deal with it and I don't think having temporary name suppression is going to make much of a difference. But if the alleged wife-beater is guilty then he should get his beans. Hitting a woman is inexcusable. [/QUOTE]
