955: Outrage Addition

London Bridge Jogger, Eric Belkist, Wrongful Arrest

London police arrested and subsequently released American investment banker Eric Belkist in connection with a viral video showing a jogger pushing a woman into the path of a bus. Belkist's lawyers provided "irrefutable proof" that he was in the United States at the time of the May incident. The media's decision to name Belkist despite his release is criticized as a "non-story" that unfairly besmirched his reputation.
