Description
Legal expert calls for suppression order reform after Tom Silvagni caseA legal expert is advocating for urgent changes to suppression orders, following the lifting of an eighteen-month-long order on convicted rapist Tom Silvagni. The expert argues that these orders are being used too often, particularly on mental health grounds, and are effectively silencing victims. The expert also points out that the changes to the Open Courts Act in 2013 have made it easier to grant suppression orders based on mental health safety claims, often without proper verification. The expert is pushing for a return to the physical safety standard in the Open Courts Act and for judges to prioritize open justice.
