Cameras In The Courtroom : 14 pages in length. The writer
addresses how the presence of television cameras in today's
courtrooms presents quite a dichotomy with regard to the legal
and ethical ramifications surrounding the hotly debated issue.
Opponents of such allowances claim there exists a multitude of
problems stemming from the media having access inside the
courtroom, while proponents say it is every citizen's right to see
what is going on in the present judicial system. No matter
which way one's opinion may stand, the fact remains that
cameras in the courtroom have created an unprecedented
obstacle that has both sides debating whether the final outcome
of any given trial will been influenced one way or another.
