You have missed the points Cerek. The problem was not with the press conference in and of itself, but the contents of the press conference.

Padilla has not been charged with any crime to date nor are any charges pending. He is still being held as an "enemy combatent", indefintely and without the same access to a lawyer any murderer would recieve.

Furthermore when the police hold a press conference to announce charges, they usually do not sound like an opening statement of trial.
In otherwords the press conference was like the title of the thread implies- A trial-a one-sided trial- in a case where the accused has no veneue to defend himself from these accusations.

Here is a transcript of the press conference:
