LAPD Asks Media Not to Publish Mugshot of Suspect in Dodger Stadium Fan Attack
A commentary from Ken Paulson of the First Amendment Center examines the ethical and constitutional questions presented by the LAPD’s request that media organizations not publish the mugshot of the man alleged to have violently attacked a fan at Dodger Stadium on opening day.
