Court TV expands internationally with launch of new channel in the United Kingdom

Court TV is now available on Sky Television Channel 179, with more distribution agreements expected to be announced.

Court TV's on-air team of anchors, legal correspondents and veteran crime and justice journalists – all of whom are lawyers – offer daily insight and analysis, joined by America's brightest attorneys, most experienced investigators and experts who provide legal views, opinion, discussion and debate.

For U.K. audiences, Court TV also is planning content to explain the differences between the two country's systems, including why cameras are allowed in courtrooms in the U.S. but not in the U.K.

Upcoming U.S. trials Court TV plans to cover and air both in the U.S. and the U.K. include:
  • The Death of George Floyd - Four Minneapolis police officers will be tried in the death of George Floyd, which launched a national movement on race in America.
  • The Killing of Ahmaud Arbery - Three white men are accused of murder in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was shot while jogging through a south Georgia neighborhood.
  • The Case of The Doomsday Cult Mom - Lori Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, are facing charges after authorities discovered the bodies of their two children in their backyard. Daybell, a former gravedigger, has authored numerous doomsday books and is rumored to have built a cult-type following.
  • "The Jinx" Murder Trial - Robert Durst, a wealthy New York City real estate heir, faces first-degree murder charges in California as police allege he killed his longtime friend, Susan Berman. Authorities suspect Durst in the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathleen McCormack, and investigators believe that Durst, the subject of the HBO documentary "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," killed Berman because she knew what happened to McCormack.
  • The R. Kelly Sex Abuse Case - Entertainer R. Kelly, currently in a federal prison in Chicago, faces numerous racketeering and sex trafficking charges involving five women, with legal problems ignited by the television show "Surviving R. Kelly."
 
R. Kelly’s NYC sex racketeering trial bumped to April 2021 after many delays

Lawyers on both sides have agreed to a April 7, 2021 trial date in Brooklyn.

Kelly is charged in Brooklyn Federal Court for running an enterprise where women and girls were selected from the audience at his concerts and then recruited for sex.

He also is charged with having sexual activity with three girls under the age of 18 and making child *advertiser censored*, as well as with knowingly transferring herpes to a groupie.

The “Igntion” singer is charged in Chicago Federal Court with having sex with minors and making chid *advertiser censored*.

He’s also charged in state court in Chicago for abusing minors and state court in Minnesota for engaging in prostitution with a minor.

Kelly is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, where his lawyers claim he was assaulted by another inmate.
 
R. Kelly waits in federal lockup as path to trials in two states remains muddy

Kelly’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, said he is confident that Kelly’s behemoth New York racketeering case would go to trial in August as scheduled. But Judge Harry Leinenweber, who is presiding over Kelly’s Chicago charges in U.S. District Court, was more skeptical, noting that the New York date had already been rescheduled more than once.

And the Chicago trial date, tentatively set for September, would need to be delayed if Kelly’s six-week New York trial does in fact begin in August.

Attorneys agreed to address the scheduling again at the next court hearing in July.
