An accused person can and should be able to say whatever she wants about her accusations and the process. There are instances where they can't in the US and I think that is wrong. I'm not arguing in favor of secret courts. I'm arguing in favor of preserving a person's reputation until and unless the person can be proven guilty. Or at least until facts have been reasonably well established in court.

But if the court proceeding where the charges are stated against a newly arrested person aren't open I'm saying it's a secret court.

They have this sort of thing in some countries like China where the government arrests someone and nobody knows why.

It's not a great thing.
