‘US victim wrongly locked up for years vindicated as identity thief pleads guilty. William Woods was sent to a mental institution because Matthew Keirans – who faces 32 years in prison – stole his name for decades’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/07/identity-theft-william-woods-matthews-keirans

Curious difference between media in the UK and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, media tend to write about William W (not William Woods) when writing about suspects and victims. The Dutch tradition is based on self-regulation by the media; not on law.

@Frederik_Borgesius can't imagine UK media ever being so restrained 🫣 (although they do face serious penalties if they reveal details before/during trials which might prejudice the outcome)
