Such great observations from all of you! I concur about the "50 lbs and 15 yrs older" (those darn cameras). I discovered this myself when I attended a trial and saw myself on TV. It was harsh. :yikes:
It's got to be tough for the attorneys, knowing the whole world is watching. Then again, this is their bread 'n butter.
Question: do you know (Anita or Katie or PASA) when the (a?) camera is on you? Or is it unobtrusive and anonymous?
Is it easy to hear inside the courtroom? I discovered during the 2 trials I attended in my area that the acoustics in the courtroom were terrible and I had a much better listening experience when I watched the trials online because the lawyers and witnesses were mic'd up for the network feed and it was much louder that way.
I had no idea when/if the camera was pointing in my direction. The only way I knew was watching the days proceedings later on YouTube.
Volume much better in courtroom than on live feed. The courtroom is big and IMHO acoustics are good.
I was in the back row behind defendants family and had no problems hearing. At home I have volume maxed out and have trouble hearing some of the trial.
HTH
