The Joanna Yeates murder case is undeniable tragic. It appeals to us all due to much we do not know about it. Murdered in a relatively quite place of Britain, she was a landscape architect living a modest lifestyle. The media have latched onto this story like leaches. Did she know her murderer? How did it happen? Who what when where and WHY?
Until recently, the media weren't allowed to report on those arrested, and I reckon that the change has cost privacy and identity. Chris Jefferies has had his life exploited now. Guilty or not, he has a black cross over his name. The media has told us where he lives, his age, where he worked, and every aspect of his life which we may presume to be connected to the murder story.
The media has treated Jefferies as if he is guilty, but all the public has been told is that he has been arrested and taken in to questioning.
For now, all he is guilty of is a terrible attempt at a comb-over.
Someone listened to me.

The attorney general is considering issuing a notice to remind the media that coverage of the arrest in the Jo Yeates murder inquiry must be fair.
