Kentucky Teen Faces Charge for Naming Attackers
http://j.mp/MtAayX (AP / ABC)
A 17-year-old Kentucky girl who was upset by the plea deal reached by
a pair of teenagers who sexually assaulted her is now facing a
contempt charge for tweeting their names in violation of a court
order. Savannah Dietrich of Louisville told The Courier-Journal
(http://cjky.it/NEcirr) she is frustrated by what she feels is a
lenient deal for her attackers. After posting the names on Twitter,
Dietrich wrote, "I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living
Hell."

Courts are going to learn one way or another that they can't
effectively hide information as they've done in the past, especially
about criminal thugs old enough to be sentenced as adults.
