I guess that's a valid point too.

As much as I'm being kinda hypocrite keeping up with it now, I really wish in all court cases where the stakes are life (or stakes just as high like rape cases) there could be a ban on news coverage of trials. I agree there should be public scrutiny of trials, maybe have the proceedings kept private and show them on Court TV or equivalent after the trial.
