Notable Quotes 2
At this trial, certain witnesses will be testifying under their first name only. Other witnesses will be testifying under pseudonyms — that is, under different names. That is because the names of certain alleged victims and related witnesses are being withheld from the public and the press to protect the privacy of those individuals.
This case has received, and will continue to receive, significant attention in the media. To minimize the inconvenience and potential harassment of any witness, the Court has permitted witnesses, if they choose, to be referred to by either their first name or a pseudonym.
