With the recent reporting of high profile men and women on the F.B.I.'s most wanted list, would it serve any legitimate purpose to televise the trials on major networks (not some obscure station on cable/satellite t.v.) of those alleged perpertrators who were apprehended.
I remember the O.J. Simpson trail and I found it very informative as to how the system works and what is expected of witnesses, police, attorneys, etc. in a courtroom setting.
Do the participants in any televised courtroom trial play to the camera to the point where facts and testimony are distorted ?
If you were required to offer testimony in a nationally televised courtroom proceedings, would you be intimated by the knowledge you are being televised by millions of viewers watching you and hearing your testimony.
