Tribe told me.
As Tribe pointed out, everyone affected by a criminal trial, including any victims , have a right to see for themselves whether justice is being done. “The fact that federal courts don’t routinely allow live coverage isn’t a sufficient excuse for this trial, possibly the most significant criminal trial in our history, to be conducted without as much public scrutiny as possible,” Tribe observed.
