Smith has set up the cleanest legal shot possible against Trump, removing as much complexity as possible from all aspects of the prosecution. He is against cameras because they introduce unforeseeable complexity.
I would prefer the cameras be there, but only being released after the conviction gets returned. This would give the necessary transparency without any circus from it being publicized real-time
Doesn't have to be HD.
Imagine if debates weren't aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what's going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.
The entire point of a debate is to be an entertainment shitshow, though.
Besides which what has that got to do with criminal proceedings? What point are you trying to make here?
My point: we can have video of the court proceedings without it being turned into soundbite central simply by delaying the release.
On the other hand, we- the broader public- need a certain amount of transparency that’s difficult to get without full coverage.
