why do they have this stupid thing where you can't have phones / cameras / etc in the courtroom? it's 2023, give us streams. it's public record isn't it?
It tends to turn court rooms into drama rooms. Everybody starts performing instead of acting serious. The OJ trial is a great example of how damaging cameras can be. Whether you agree with this or not, this is generally the reason why.
Well I can think of at least one case in the past few years where courtroom recordings turned the whole trial into a media fiasco and a witch hunt. Maybe it's justified in some cases, but on the whole I personally think it's unhealthy for justice.
Keep in mind any and all of that he would just use to get donations and campaign ads. I think that's the main reason he hasn't gotten the perp walk with handcuffs, he wants it!
