Yes, trials are supposed to be public. I think with technology today, there is no reason not to watch a trial. Rather than the press doing it, I think it would be better if videoed by the court. I do think a room full of media is too distracting to the proceeding.

depends on the nature of the case. if some corporate a-hole stole millions of dollars and escaped via helecopter, yeah. televise that crap! but if it would put anyone involved in danger, than no.
