what appears to me is trial by media..reminds me of the wild west and lyching..is it legally possible for media in ireland to react in a similar way should unfortunately a similar event happen.
 
Sure remember the indo screaming on its front page that the late liam lawlor was killed in a car crash in a seedy part of moscow with an under age hooker ! what kind of editor would put that on the front page without concrete evidence . very professional indeed ! that guy in portugal may or may not be guilty but is entitled to a trial . and if he claims that he caint get a fair trial because of unfair media reporting ,the papers/media will have handed him a get out of jail free card !
 
Its already happened in one murder investigation that has been pretty high profile....
