Cameras in the Courtroom:,[object Object],By: Michael Myrick,[object Object]
History of Cameras in Court:,[object Object],ABA removed cameras during the 1930s.,[object Object],4 decades later, technology had finally approved; cameras were far less disruptive in court.,[object Object],By 1995, 47 states allowed the decision up to the judges (“Cameras in Court”).,[object Object]
Mississippi:,[object Object],“In June 1995, the Mississippi Supreme Court upheld a statewide ban on cameras in the courtroom” (Hull).,[object Object],As of today, cameras are not allowed within Mississippi’s courtrooms.,[object Object]
Fair Trial in Jeopardy!!!,[object Object]
O.J. Simpson:,[object Object],   Even though the media’s cameras portrayed Simpson in an unfavorable light, Simpson still supported the use of cameras during his trial. He felt they would prove his innocence to his supporters and fans so they could warmly welcome him back if/when he was acquitted (Cohn). ,[object Object]
Pros of Cameras in the Courtroom:,[object Object],“…the lens is a check on the excesses of autocratic judges and forces lawyers to sharply hone their arguments, lest they embarrass themselves before a television audience that may include their peers and potential client” (Cohn).,[object Object],Educational for the public,[object Object],The public is more accepting of an outcome if they are allowed to personally watch the trial.,[object Object],Supports the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights.,[object Object],	“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”,[object Object]
Research Project Presentation
Cons of Cameras in the Courtroom:,[object Object],Judges, attorneys, and other participants are worried and focused on not making a mistake on television and losing their supporters.,[object Object],The public could take a look or response out of context-whether the camera meant to portray it that way or not.,[object Object],Other members of the jury will alter their decision on hopes of appearing on a talk show when the trial is over. ,[object Object],Attorneys or witnesses may show boat or exaggerate                   their testimonies.,[object Object],Some witnesses won’t testify because they fear for           their safety.,[object Object],Members of the jury are fearful of the threatening aftermath.,[object Object],Cameras and media can simply be disruptive.,[object Object]
High Profile Cases:,[object Object],ANNA NICOLE SMITH-cameras captured the Florida judge crying on the bench (Wieland).,[object Object],PHIL SPECTOR- Judge Larry Fidler allowed gavel-to-gavel TV coverage of the murder trial in LA  (“Phil Spector Murder Trial Will be Televised”).,[object Object],SCOTT PETERSON- cameras were not allowed during this trial in California (Donaldson-Evans). ,[object Object],MARTHA STEWART- was not televised because it was federal charge; cameras are not allowed in Federal Courts (Donaldson-Evans).,[object Object],WILLIAM KENNEDY SMITH- televised on Court TV (Cohn). ,[object Object],MENENDEZ BROTHERS- 1st trial was televised and ended with a hung jury (Cohn). ,[object Object],MICHAEL JACKSON-was not televised due to shielding the identity of minors in the sex-related case  (Hurley).,[object Object]
Digital Ethics:,[object Object],The issue of cameras within courtrooms has been debatable for years. The people who confront this matter are forced to face their own digital ethics. They are obligated to make an ethical decision regarding the operation of cameras or other digital devices within digital environments. A courtroom is one particular environment that deals with digital ethics such as the use of media cameras. ,[object Object]
