His little demonstration at the sentencing reminded me a bit of Judge Ito.


Cameras in the courtroom have turned trials into entertainment. Ito clearly was influenced by the presence of cameras in the courtroom, and the judge in the Hockey Dad case may have been as well.

IMO the interest of the public in knowing about the legal system can be met by having reporters attend the trial and report later on what happened. Keep the cameras out.
