CAMERAS BEFORE THE COURTS - APRIL 2001 | Thunderbird Magazine The arguments in the debate over whether or not to if we had our own version of Court tv, McKenzie says courts are most concerned with the fairness of a trial http://www.journalism.ubc.ca/thunderbird/archives/2001.04/cameras.html
Extractions: SPECIALS* SE Asia Series Magazines National Media Local Coverage * each link opens a new window AT A GLANCE CONTRIBUTORS ABOUT US ARCHIVE Proponents are pushing to allow recording devices inside Canada's courtrooms, but opponents believe witnesses either freeze or perform for the camera. It is a question of whether the eye of the camera tips the scales of justice. Cameras before the courts IF YOU WANT to know what goes on inside a Canadian courtroom, there are two ways of finding out. You can either go down to the courthouse yourself or you can wait for a journalist to tell you. If you choose the second route, you will have to rely on the journalist to paint for you a mental picture of a particular hearing or trial. Recording devices, both video and audio, generally are not permitted. For some Canadians, all too familiar with public spectacles like the O.J. Simpson murder trial, things are fine just the way they are. "I am unalterably opposed to televising judicial proceedings because it is impossible to know how much harm it will do, particularly to witnesses who don’t usually want to be in court," says B.C. Chief Justice Allan McEachern in a written response. "There is no groundswell of anxiety on the part of the public to televise proceedings. It is being stirred up by the media for their own commercial interests, and they should know better."
The Media And The Courtroom? A Look At The Increasing Debate After all, the courts already allow prerecorded testimony many questions and problems as the debate already on the table, following the example of Court tv? http://www.angelfire.com/ia/pinegar/courtcamera.html
Extractions: A Look at the Increasing Debate The Issues around the Media and the Courts The key issue in the debate is the apparent clash within the Constitution between the First Amendment's right to a free press, and the Sixth Amendment's right to a fair trial in a speedy and public manner, by an impartial jury. To some it has been a debate between institutions, with different goals, while others believe that their goals (of justice) are essentially the same, but merely take on a different form from each other. But others believe that it is simply a debate between proper values and professionalism as institutions. In order to start our discussion it is appropriate to determine first if the amendments based on the founder's intentions actually do clash, and if so, whether or not one is more important than the other. The courts especially want fair trials and the media wants their right to a free and open press of the courts. But do the legal professionals do all that they can in order to preserve fair trials? And have those in the media abided by ethics in journalism when covering the courts and been responsible in doing so? Since these are both very important issues to the debate, the idea behind who each of these actors, as institutions, are supposed to serve first needs to be addressed. Based on the strict standards of both the law, the high court, and modern American Bar Association's professional code of ethics, that the justice system's primary function is not to serve the random interests of the public. Instead, prosecutors, defenders, and judges are to insure the best possible conditions for opposing sides to search out the truth in a dignified adversarial process. Their function is to insure the integrity of the institution, the Constitution, and to provide interpretation and enforcement of the law.

Extractions: I read with interest criminal defense attorney Manny Hernandez's recent "My Word" commentary arguing that placing cameras in the courtroom to expose abusive judges is unnecessary. I, likewise, have been a criminal defense attorney for many years, and on this issue, I strongly support Orange-Osceola State Attorney Lawson Lamar and Chief Assistant State Attorney Bill Vose's position that cameras should operate in every courtroom. After all, the courtrooms belong to the public, not the lawyers and judges. From a legal perspective, the debate really begins with the federal and state constitutions which refer to "public trials." Obviously, when these provisions were first enacted, technology was not available to give every member of the community a firsthand look at the goings-on in the courthouse.

FAIR TRIAL: THE LINDBERGH BABY KIDNAPPING CASE Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was a genuine American hero. In 1927, Lindbergh captured the public imagination by flying solo from New York to Paris in a single-engine airplane . This pioneering flight across the Atlantic instantly changed the character of global travel and made "the Lone Eagle" a world celebrity. Joined by his wife, author Anne Morrow , this soft-spoken adventurer traveled the world, using his celebrity status to advance the cause of aviation. Together, the Lindberghs came to symbolize a youthful and optimistic America and a newfound global communication.

Extractions: For By Paul Taylor Providing free air time to candidates is the single most promising way to fix what ails electoral politics. It's not a complete fix. There's no such thing. But by reducing the cost and improving the discourse of campaigns, it has the potential to do more good than any other reform - without running afoul of the courts, the constitution or the political culture. Let's parse the benefits one at a time. Political candidates spent $25 million on television advertising in '72 and $500 million in '96 - that's an increase of nearly five times the rate of inflation. Television ads are the single largest component of this increase. They account for roughly 40 percent of the total expense of congressional, senatorial and presidential campaigns. In competitive races for those offices - the ones decided within 8 points - the TV ads account for closer to 60 percent of total expenses. The pressure to raise the funds to pay for the ads helps drive the obsessive money chase that leads to the scandals we've been wallowing in for the past year. You'll never do away with this money chase, but you can slow it down. Free air time will.

Extractions: By Frank Houston I did not wash my hair last night because I felt a certain amount of stiffness was probably healthy," Dan Rather says to a producer as he prepares to go on air with a report from Soweto, South Africa. "What do you think? OK, OK, the question is whether or not to wash it for tomorrow, but we'll make that decision as we go along, I guess." Such are the weighty choices our news anchors are forced to make from day to day. Rather likely did not expect to be discussing his coiffure on public view, but he is. This peek behind the curtain of the TV news business is known as a "wild feed" one of the unscripted, random moments found in the raw satellite transmissions used by TV networks and affiliates to send live sound and video from one location to another. The feeds are sometimes scrambled by the networks. But often they aren't, and they can be intercepted by anyone with a satellite dish who knows where to point it. Wild feeds reveal some of the embarrassingly creaky machinery beneath the high-gloss Oz of broadcast television and these days they can be found online. Comedic actor Harry Shearer's Web site features the Rather clip, as well as some choice words from Bill Gates: "We fucked up. We look really stupid. We look like these greedy fools," and Geraldo Rivera, who is overheard saying that if he were Ron Goldman's father, "I'd want to strangle the motherfucker." (O.J. Simpson, that is.) Jed Rosenzweig's

Corporate Public-Interest Groups Don T Be Deceived By Ethical citizens participating in the public debate, but do be said of our elected officials or even our courts. Pat Robertson, tv evangelist and rightwing politician http://www.commondreams.org/views/022100-104.htm
Extractions: Don't Be Deceived By Ethical-Sounding Names by Harv Teitelbaum Many people complain that it's getting harder to tell right from wrong, truth from fiction, and reality from illusion in our society. Nowhere is this confusion of values more apparent than in the manipulation of our perceptions of and by conservative and commercial "public-interest" groups. Since the 1960s, when America saw an unprecedented growth in grassroots, democratic, public-interest organizations such as the ACLU, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and the NAACP, commercial and conservative interests have been seeking ways to reclaim the moral high ground, or if not possible, to at least dilute the impact of these progressive organizations. As an initial attempt, commercial interests came up with the idea of creating in-house front groups to counter those grassroots organizations which arose to combat industrial threats. These corporate constructs were ridiculed and dismissed as "astroturf" groups in recognition of their artificial nature. But corporate and special interests have come a long way since then. First, industry groups and conservatives tapped their substantial financial advantage and the media's money-as-access attitude to monopolize the public dialogue on issues. Perhaps more importantly, since honest identification of the parties behind the message might negate or weaken that message, they concocted public-interest names that appeared progressive and grassroots. The task then, became one of marketing, and not simply of message.

Extractions: The next battle pitting Scott Peterson's right to a fair trial against the public's right to information is likely to be waged in front of television cameras. The outcome could determine whether the compelling double-murder case continues to fuel talk shows and news reports across North America. "TV is a very powerful medium, very dangerous," said Harland Braun, a Los Angeles attorney who is no stranger to high-pressure, high-profile courtroom drama. He worked on the civil rights trial of motorist Rodney King and is representing actor Robert Blake, who is being tried for his wife's murder. The point is not lost on Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Al Girolami, who earlier this month set deadlines for attorneys on all sides to present him with written arguments.
