Do you think they will ever put live court cases as they happen on TV etc or for you to stream.
What's the reason they don't?
At the moment you have to go into the public gallery if you want to watch or read about it in the paper?

I’m pretty sure they’ve televised a case in Scotland fairly recently. I’m sure I haven’t imagined it and it wasn’t a re-enactment. It was a documentary about a murder case. Does anyone else remember this? Definitely within the last year. And wasn’t there another case about a couple of ‘carers’ who had taken over care for their friend’s adult daughter, Margaret, after her father died? She disappeared and they went down to London to send themselves a letter from her, claiming she’d become a gangmaster for an ocg, which was utterly ridiculous considering the extent of her SEN. That was partly televised too.

I’m not convinced it’s a good idea. It sensationalises it a bit. It’s very interesting to see the process but I’m not sure it should become entertainment.

There's a whole TV channel called Court TV!
