@pig
if his lawyers argue that he is "prejudiced" by the content of these facebook pages they can claim he has been denied a fair trial and they could get the case dropped.
"subjudice" is the important word to be aware of. It basically means that while a case is underway. In some countries it is important that cases are dealt with carefully in the media etc. because a defendant can be seen to be prejudiced.
In most cases this prejudice would involve the jury being unduly influenced by reports in the media that may or may not be wrong.
In this instance, these facebook pages are posting messages about the defendant that could easily influence a jury's decision. He is innocent until proven guilty and he has a right to a fair trial.
so going back to my point earlier, the people posting these facebook pages are too stupid to understand the possible implications of their actions.
