Televised Court Sentencing

[sinkov]

I'm with BT on this, I'm a bit fed up with police and 'victims' grandstanding on the court steps after every high profile case anyway, it now seems obligatory for this to happen, I've no idea why. Do we really need judges grandstanding for the TV cameras as well ? This just the foot in the door, once it's accepted as normal they'll be pressing for the whole case to be televised, it's inevitable. Should we be turning criminal court cases into reality TV shows ? I think not, but it's coming, this is just the first step.

Sometimes BT, you sound like Mrs S, even after all these years she still hasn't got me worked out either.

Or has she ?
