Judges at the court said this week that they will hand down a verdict on Friday on the charges against Suu Kyi, which stem from an incident in which an American intruder swam to her lakeside villa in May.
The newspaper's Internet version published a list of types of contempt of court, saying that Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy had made "political profit" from the internationally condemned case.
"Please read the above three points on contempt of court carefully. There should be no prediction that who is guilty or who is not guilty until the court passes the judgment," the editorial said.
The editorial then alleged that Suu Kyi could have called for security when Yettaw was discovered at the house but instead she "received the intruder" for two nights and provided him with food, lodging and clothes.
"Although the house and compound are regarded as restricted areas by law, one intruded and the other accepted. Doesn't it violate the law?" the editorial asked.
"It can be questionable whether these are democratisation activities."
It also suggested that Yettaw's actions were part of a plot to smuggle the Nobel Peace Prize winner out of the property where she has spent much of the last two decades under house arrest.
"If the motive of leaving two chadors (Muslim shawls) and some stuff by Yettaw were to be exposed, it would become an exciting Hollywood movie," it said.
"We would be likely to see a thriller in which the actress escapes in disguise."
Suu Kyi's lawyers have said that she cannot be held responsible for Yettaw's actions and that it was poor security that allowed him to reach her property.
Yettaw, a devout Mormon and former US military veteran, has told the court that he crossed the lake to her house to warn her of a divine vision that she would be assassinated.
