    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.

      I am doubtful. They are being highly coordinated in the way they are approaching this case not to give him free campaign material.

        interesting perspective, I hadn’t thought about the campaign angle… I agree though, they won’t perp walk him.
