Despite shelling out $51,000 to park their rigs near the San Mateo County courthouse, TV networks will not be allowed to broadcast the trial. So all they’re going to get for their money is more convenient access to the outside of the building.
Normally, I’m fine with cameras in the courtroom. But where, as here, the media circus has hyped a case beyond any sense of reality, the judge has the discretion to try to get things under control.
