Original Note:
There was no cover-up. It is Contempt of Court to report or publish information relating to the defendant’s past that could jeopardise an ongoing investigation or trial. It is completely normal for details such as these to be withheld until after a verdict. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/contempt-court
