If it makes you feel any better, as a fan of Knowledge Fight, I followed the Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation trial in Texas pretty closely. Alex did his best to turn the trial into a circus, throwing out deep state conspiracies, complaining about the process and his first amendment rights on the stand, and otherwise showboating. The judge was on top of it and shut it all down, and a lot of that came back to bite him in the ass. It didn't help that Alex kept doing his show while the trial was ongoing and freshly defaimed the plaintiffs and alluded to the jury as being brainwashed liberals.

I'd imagine the same thing happens here. Whether trying to make a circus out of the proceedings helps Trump in the presidential race, I don't know. But it's not going to do him any favors with the judge and jury.

Hopefully any kind of jury isn't shown on camera otherwise this is doxxing.

No amount of transparency will prevent his outright lies. It's going to be a total shit show.

Nothing is going to stop the outright lies

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.

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

I just hope Nebraska is growing enough corn for the future popcorn needs.

Doubt.

Glad I can listen to the audio while at work at least.

Just like when we were all watching the insurrection instead of working on jan 6th

I believe cameras aren't allowed in federal courtrooms because it prevents jurors from being identified and threatened/blackmailed.

I’m going to assume it’s because of the shitshow that was the OJ trial.

It's hard to say. Honestly, I think the GOP is in a pinch. They want the turnout that trump affords them but they also want him out of the way as clean as possible. When MAGA people come to the realization that the GOP is trying the bait and switch, shit will really get spicy.

Honestly that spin sounds like a pretty good reason to keep the media out.

I just want to see his illiterate ass get asked to read something out loud

lol

Yeah. I wonder "if" fire is actually hot or "if" the ocean is wet.

McBurney apparently leans towards broadcasting everything.

It's corrupt but don't think it will apply to this case.
