Further, they will often generate press coverage for what may otherwise be a decidedly unnewsworthy case. Fortunately for the suspects in most cases of this type, once cleared of these charges they stand a good chance of being able to continue with their lives as before. Newspaper articles and coverage on the evening news do not lend overly biased support to the prosecutor's claims. The public is simply informed of the accusations and is left to evaluate them. If formal charges are never filed or the suspect is eventually acquitted, the public can see the charges in their proper light and draw their own conclusions.
Dramatizations are different story.
What I've read about the segment you've produced is that you intend on showing a Kevin Poulsen look-alike actually doing what the prosecutor has accused me of. Even after I am eventually cleared of these ludicrous accusations involving national security, Ferdinand Marcos, etc. My life and my career will be irrevocably damaged. This is under Section 1, Article 1, of the California State Constitution. There is considerable precedent for civil action in cases of dramatizations.
