Everyone is curious as to who it is. Don't act like you're not.
If the lawyer is going to give identifying information on a radio station, there is no harm in exploring that curiosity. She also mentioned that the player knows his name will likely become public at some point.
As said, hearsay is not legally admissible and the speculation of us fans (a.k.a. air conditioner ballast) shouldn't mean anything in a court of law. Yeah, we're curious and speculation will happen. As long as the legal teams on both sides are all above board.
In situations like this--where it's a 'John Doe' case, there are usually valid reason to keep the identity anonymous.
Hypothetically, let's assume that one or both of the victims took part in the Vancouver Limo Party. That could be used for character assassination even though any decent court of law shouldn't allow that--unfortunately it happens anyway.
