Snippet from the Telegraph:- ref Greg's (the boyfriend) statment.
Quote:
Mr Reardon added: "Jo’s life was cut short tragically but the finger-pointing and character assassination by social and news media of as yet innocent men has been shameful.
"It has made me lose a lot of faith in the morality of the British Press and those that spend their time fixed to the internet in this modern age.
"I hope in the future, they will show a more sensitive and impartial view to those involved in such heartbreaking events and especially in the lead-up to potentially high-profile court cases."

Highly unsurpring that lowlife tabloids such as The Sun and DM, have also quoted Greg's statment - but omitted the above part. quelle surprise eh!
Suddenly the man is out on bail and the tone and wording used towards him in today's papers is immediately of a very different style - no mud slinging, no castigation etc - although the DM are still running with their origial headline of Prof Strange that appeared last night.
Either the media have had their knuckles wrapped or they may have realised that this man just might just hit them with a lawsuit.
Going on the premise that the boyfriend is not involved: I'd have thought that if he had the slightest doubt about the LL, if he had the smallest hint of him being involved, I'd be surprised that he would have raised the matter of the abyssmal 'trial by media' press coverage at all.
Sat reading the volumes of pages on DS re this: and a few have pointed out that this could mean:-
(a) no charge made as still awaiting forensic results & ongoing investigation but still could be number 1 suspect at the current time and has been given bail on condition until he is finally eliminated - possibly due to awaiting results on tests etc.
(b) he may have been charged with some smaller crime, totally unrelated - with the police using clever use of wording that he was released on bail makes it appear that the police still think he is connected to it - even if he is not - smoke and mirrors scenario going on.
Good point was raised on DS about the police appealing for people who may have even the smallest, apparently insignificant piece of info to please come forward. ....... After the way CJ has been castigated up till this point - anyone going near the police even with the smallest piece of info after the way this has been handled so far, would quite seriously, have to have to be insane.
Once upon a time years ago, the press were there to help police by reporting on such serious crimes, in getting the message out and appealing for help. Seems those days are long gone.
