Like Mushro^fiis in ttie Dark
There is a move afoot in the Georgia General Assembly to pass a law which
would prohibit publication or broadcast of the names of persona accused in sex
crimes or of driving while drunk, prior to thei" indictment by a Grand Jury
or action in a court.
Georgia’s newspapers, large and small, generally are opposed to such
legislation. Why? Not because its enactment might cut into their circulation
and profits. Svich a law would not cripple any newspaper it might, in fact,
even remove some headaches for editors.
They are opposed to it for two principal reasons — and both of these are
tied clearly and directly to the public welfare.
FiRST Under such a law certain arrests would become secret arrests
because unless 1 lie media of mass information can ve(Kj)'v police action it is, in
all common sense, secret. Secret arrest is the handmaiden of secret trial — and
even more certainly it opens the easiest avenue to the use of influence and
corruption to evade or soften deserved punishment. An. y from the s]K>tlight
of publicity, “deals” grow better like mushrooms in i le dark.
We don’t suggest sponsors of this legi 'ation intend l > f 'upix>rt or condone
secret arrest or secret trial. But we don’t think they’ve 1 :oked deeply enough
into possible consequences of their doubtless well-intentioned tampering with
solid principles.
From the dawn of freedom as Anglo-Saxons know it. secret arrest and secret
trial have been the odious bulwarks of tyranny. Justice reach-din the daylight,
from arret to sentencing, is the very cornerstone of we. i-rn civilization. No
matter how well-meant it may be, any law which darker. > any segment of this
process goes contrary to the hhtciic fundamentals wh eh : afeguard all our
liberties and it invites fresh encroachments on those hard-won rights.
SECOND From J. Edgar Hoover on down, law enf reesv.ent officers gen¬
erally recognize that fear of expos .re goes hand-in-hand \ 1th fear of punish¬
ment as a deterrent to crime If the sox deviate or the : elfirh drinker knows
that public exposure must await n lensway judicial process — which money
and influence may circumven isn'i it reasonable th; t deterrent fear will
be lessened?
Much will be made of the fact that sometimes the innocent are arrested
in sex crimes or for drunken driving. Indeed they are. And innocent persons
sometimes are accused of murder mid embezzlement a.id arson and house¬
breaking and income f v: evasion, too. This is unfortuni te but to argue that
it justifies throwing a cLak of secrecy over the policeman’s part in our system
of justice would lie rather like holding that jury trial should be abolished
because verdicts sometimes are unjust.
Ironically, this legislation almost inevitably would accomplish the reverse
of its purpose of shielding the innocent. Perhaps belter t han others, newspaper¬
men know with certainty a simple, honest recital of facts in a news story never
can do a fraction of the damage to an innocent man’s character that can be
done by gossip. And when such gossip can not be checked and refuted by the
published record, the evil it can do is multiplied.
IT’S YOUR BUSINESS — So to protect our ancient freedoms and your right
to know we suggest you tell your legislators how you feel about this threat
to liberty.
