At least the 19 gave police a name. This newspaper didn't even give us that much.

MV Voice only includes a name if it's a non-minority.
KTVU has the name and picture.

MV Voice announced a while ago they would stop publishing names until people are actually convicted (with some expections). AFAICT they are doing what they announced.

No, that is not Embarcadero Media's policy. Their policy is *CLEARLY* stated at the end of the story.
Embarcadero Media will publish names if the D.A. files charges. They do not require a conviction. The D.A. files charges when there is a reasonable chance (like >80%) of a conviction by trial. The D.A. typically does not file charges when the chance of winning the case is really low. The judicial system is overloaded already, so the D.A. won't waste their time with marginal cases.
