    In what way are they violating his privacy? Can you explain a little further. Are they calling him at home, interrupting him while in transit?

    You posted under Corporate Law so I am assuming this is a business related court case?

    Hello j:

    A criminal case IS public. It's held in a public court where ANYBODY can come in. What the cops do, IS public information.

    Now, of course, I don't know particularly WHAT the newspaper is publishing, so I couldn't comment further... Now, if the newspaper is LYING, you can take action... If not, there's nothing you can do.

    Once he was arrested the case immediately became public so there isnothing you can do about the newspaper getting their hands on the information or attending open court in your husband's case. If it is a really sensational case most papers do in fact print oodles of information on the case. Too bad you lose in this situation IF everything they print is 100% correct. If incorrect or slanderous consult an attorney and sue them.

    I hope the OP comes back to explain further; my curiousity, twink, is expanding.
