I was questioning the same over the weekend but forgot to research it until your post.
Why court photos of the alleged New Zealand mosque shooter’s face are blurred
Images captured by media outlets during that court appearance are being published blurred or pixellated due to an order from the judge who presided over Tarrant’s hearing, The New Zealand Herald reports.
Judge Paul Kellar allowed journalists to use cameras and shoot video but said Tarrant’s face must be obscured in order to protect his right to a fair trial.
Kellar has also issued a ban on publishing the name of the man Tarrant is accused of killing. Tarrant did not apply to have the judge suppress his name from the media, Australian broadcaster ABC reports.
This makes no sense.
He livestreammed the event, thereby putting his face out there for world consumption.
The journalists covering the trial know what he looks like.
The people in the court know what he looks like.
The general public knows what he looks like.
Newspapers are publishing his baby pictures:
Then again, Neely Fuller Jr was right.
