Cali is very broke at the moment. <br /><br />Remember, the Scott Peterson case was not televised. Spector 1 being televised was an unusual event for Cali courts, imho.<br /><br />The ultimate decision will be with the judge and the media has to petition. Have zero idea of any media has pursued this for camera coverage.<br /><br />CaliGirl "might" have some insight into this county and it's camera coverage.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-72859058907400888952009-11-02T13:54:40.710-08:002009-11-02T13:54:40.710-08:00Does anyone know if there is a chance this trial w...Does anyone know if there is a chance this trial will be televised?

Certainly he is not a limelight-seeking celebrity lawyer who appears on TV talk shows. It is true that he represents "high profile" clients i.e. people accused of committing crimes so heinous that they should be put to death. In my opinion, the interests of justice are served by assigning competent, experienced death penalty attorneys to defend anyone facing the death penalty. Given the negative connotations that have developed concerning the term "high profile lawyer" as a result of attorneys like William Ginsberg (Monica Lewinsky's first attorney), Mark Geragos and, most recently, Jose Baez taking their cases on the media circuit, I daresay most serious defense attorneys would prefer NOT to share that label.Katprintnoreply@blogger.com
