And now the latest would-be blockbuster frm the people who brought you the O.J. Simpson Trial...
A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that television networks would be able to provide gavel-to-gavel coverage of Phil Spector's upcoming murder trial, despite misgivings that it might devolve into another "Trial of the Century."
Although he was wary of the media circus surrounding the O.J. Simpson case, Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler decided to grant the access because he believed the public deserved to see the legal system at work and to disprove the notion that celebrities get special treatment.
"Public scrutiny is a good thing," Fidler said, adding that it was time for him and his fellow judges to get over there "fear of cameras in the courtroom" and the fallout frm the O.J. spectacle.
Jury selection in the long-anticipated criminal trial kicks off Mar. 19. |
