Honestly, I think in a lot of cases, it's silly.

Let's be honest. We all know who we're talking about in this specific case, right? Whether the media is allowed to print it or not doesn't matter at all.

Yeah, I imagine high-profile cases would be quite obvious :)

I don't know if there's anything stopping a person going to the media about a case before it even starts either, but imagine that's a tactic. Cochran proved the power of appeal to the public so I imagine that someone on a mission will try whatever advantage possible.
