Nonsense, Brian. The only fact in the public domain is she was editor of the News of the World at the time of some of the hacking. Just knowing who someone is cannot be deemed to hobble a jury. Otherwise no one famous (or infamous) would be tried for anything and they would effectively be above the law.
In the USA there is no restriction on reporting cases. There was recently a well-reported case where a woman was accused of murdering her child. The press crucified her. The circumstational evidence was damning. But there was no evidence that was NOT circumstational and even though the mob was baying for her blood, the jury could not find her guilty and she was duly acquitted. Juries are perfectly capable of doing their job even with notorious defendants.
