I counter this by pointing out that so, so, so many people are completely wrong about what has been said and what happens in Congress even though C-SPAN televises that constantly over decades of time.

No, just as the cameras of C-SPAN have not managed to help people believe about the goings-on in Congress, having cameras in the courtrooms for these trials will not help people believe the verdict.

In fact I think they would do quite the opposite, as I am certain that the cameras would encourage people involved to play for the cameras, including Trump himself to be clear, which would only undermine peoples' trust in the eventual verdict.

So I absolutely think this article is so naive, so disproven by experience, but even more, I expect the entirely opposite result.

Putting cameras in the courtroom will only encourage the division that will lead to a lot of doubt in the verdict, no matter what it is, even ignoring the prejudice of this article.
