From the supplier: Cameras in the courtroom at the O.J. Simpson trial are being wrongly blamed for the failings of the trial. The camera was just a mirror that showed how the justice system works. Because of the camera’s presence, viewers learned about legal rulings, suppression of evidence, the Fourth Amendment, and DNA evidence. The media circus that developed is not linked to cameras but to the public and press interest in the intriguing details of the case. States are allowed to make their own decisions on televised court proceedings, and the U.S. Supreme Court will intervene when a constitutional issue is raised.
