    Definitely mixed feelings.

    I really hate the idea of giving him any platform to try to turn the trial into a reality shit show. The worst thing that you can do with an attention seeking child is to give them attention.

    The flip side is transparency. The more transparency, the less opportunity for outright lies about the process. No amount of truth and reality will matter to the kool-aid chuggers, but there are still some with one foot still in reality.

        Way too early for a jury, but when cameras are in courtrooms they’re not allowed to do things like show the jury, or show witnesses or evidence that the judge rules must remain confidential. Any violation and the photographer could be held in contempt.

      He’s a bitch when around anyone with any real authority. I’m for it. I want his followers to see how weak, pitiful, and guilty he really is.

          Spin it for them. It’s not that they were wrong, but rather Trump lied to them and he made them look bad.

          They would be out for blood

      It’s tough because the last few high profile cases to allow cameras in the courtroom have if anything shown that too much transparency can be a bad thing, especially when you make a spectacle out of a process that anyone who isn’t a trial attorney isn’t going to properly understand, but will certainly draw their own conclusions regardless
