Inside the court room, the judge said an order preventing Rudakubana being named until his 18th birthday would have "little practical effect in terms of protecting the welfare of the defendant or his family".
Judge Andrew Menary said the "balance clearly comes down in favour of the public interest in allowing full reporting of these proceedings".
"Continuing to prevent full reporting at this stage has a disadvantage of allowing others up to mischief to continue to spread misinformation in a vacuum," the judge said.
Rudakubana is due to turn 18 next week.
And at 15:50 the BBC posted this:
When arguing that the judge should impose reporting restrictions preventing Rudakubana's identification, the prosecution said the suspect had an “autism spectrum disorder diagnosis”, and that he had been “unwilling to leave the house and communicate with family for a period of time”.
So, back on topic, the reason that the 17-year-old suspect, with autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, that had been unwilling to leave the house and communicate with family for a period of time, was named, was that continuing to prevent full naming him - as would normally be the case for a 17-year-old - had the disadvantage of allowing others up to mischief to continue to spread misinformation in a vacuum, with despicable results.
