Question

Responses
what city the man lives in
whether the story will affect the man’s ability to get a fair trial
whether there is more money in selling the story to a TV station
whether there’s enough room in the crime section of the paper for the story

Answer 1

Before Murphy publishes something about the man identified through video but not yet charged, the most pertinent consideration is whether the story will affect the man’s ability to get a fair trial. It's important to consider the potential impact of the publication on the legal proceedings, particularly regarding public perception and bias.
