Court hearings to be streamed

[hash tag]

Sorry about link...I see court hearings, sentencing only, is about to be shown on live television, but none of the trial will be shown, which is good for witness's.
Justice must be seen to be done right. Or not. How are people feeling about this?

Saw the first one today, on Sky, it was incredibly boring TBH.

I don't think they are being shown for entertainment.

I very much doubt many will be shown in full, probably just in a few high profile cases, instead you'll get brief clips in news bulletins, which somewhat defeats the idea behind it.

It’s just the judge reading something off a laptop, seems a bit pointless really.

A court in Egypt is demanding that the hanging of a man it has sentenced to death be shown on live TV. I agree with that, with the caveat that everyone in the country must watch under pain of prison.

If your country has capital punishment everyone should be made to watch it be carried out.

None of the boring build up stuff straight to the bit where lives are thrown down the shitter

This is obviously the antidote to all the police camera action shows where naughty people dodge prison time due to lefty woke judiciary
