In what cases should television cameras not be allowed in courtrooms?

Jerry Russell
PM Refrigeration Shop
"Only in real crucial cases like the O.J. Simpson case, because it can have a lot of effect on the case."

John Pooler
Associate Professor
Physiology
"In all cases, television cameras should not be allowed in courtrooms. Nothing should detract from the evidence being presented; posturing before a television audience affects the lawyers involved in the case."


Brian Teliho
Post-Graduate Student Psychiatry
"I'm against it when there is a question of whether the defendant would get a fair trial."

Kathi Ovnic
Media Coordinator
Health Sciences News and Information
"If we truly believe that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, neither broadcast nor print media should be allowed in the courtroom until a verdict is reached to protect the privacy of the individual."

Mike Huerkamp
Veterinarian
Animal Resources
"I don't see a reason for them in there. I think it complicates the justice system. It's probably an invasion of privacy as well."
