High-profile cases spark debate over cameras in the courtroom

Описание: Cameras have been allowed in Utah state courtrooms for more than a decade, but recent high-profile cases are renewing debate over how much access the public should have.

In two recent cases, defendants asked judges to limit or restrict media coverage inside the courtroom, raising questions about how the legal system balances transparency with the rights of defendants, victims and families involved.

Utah began allowing cameras in courtrooms in 2013, a move intended to promote open courts and public trust. Since then, televised and livestreamed proceedings have become more common, especially in cases that draw intense public interest.

Attorneys on both sides acknowledge that cameras can be uncomfortable, regardless of who they represent.
