Legal experts and media outlets are outraged, arguing this undermines open justice — even prompting a social media user to receive a warning from a senior detective to delete posts. Though Chief Magistrate Janelle Brassington offered guidance, the final call rested with Meoli. Now, ABC News and the defendant’s team are challenging the order in court, demanding transparency, while police and the court system brace for a July 31 showdown that could redefine how courts handle sensitive, high-profile cases.
