It matters a lot.

Public confidence will be shaken more by an attempt to prevent the case being heard. If they win — assuming for all the right reasons — then it's a boost all around.

If they loose, then... well, you're right that it'll be a bad day for lots of people. But could anyone really argue it would have been better to not know? I'd be shocked if anyone did.

That sounds like another way of saying “guilty until proven innocent”.

Not if you’re confusing political expediency for scientific rigor.
