Original Note:
Details of criminal court cases, evidence to be brought up in court, are not released in advance because that can influence a future jury in a trial. Also, until charged, there is also nothing to report. Rudakubana's charge was reported as soon as it was made. https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-07-17/reporting-restrictions-explained-when-are-journalists-banned-from-covering-legal-cases-and-why/#:~:text=What%20are%20court%20reporting%20restrictions,serious%20fines%20or%20jail%20time.
