Southport update:
Axel Rudakubana’s school is now telling parents and pupils to avoid speaking to the press. Headteacher Mike McGarry has advised against interviews, claiming it could “prejudice the trial.”
But when Rudakubana’s identity was first revealed, media outlets like the Mirror had no issue painting him in a sympathetic light, describing him as “shy” and a “choir-boy” from a devout Christian family.
Commentators have asked how this is not potentially biasing the proceedings positively? Why is it only negative portrayals that might “prejudice” a trial?
Could it be that some parents or pupils know details about Rudakubana—perhaps incidents at school that might suggest a pattern of behavior or even hint at motives for his alleged crimes?
Remember authorities withheld the information that led to additional charges.
