I don't think the Sunshine Laws or televising or making a media circus out of this trial had any effect on the verdict. No one who hung on Nancy Grace's every word had a vote. No one who read one sentence or examined one single photograph or record had one singe iota of influence on the outcome of this trial.
Public outrage occurred because quite a lot of people closely followed the doc dumps and talking heads. What does public outrage have to do with the price of rice in China

The only thing that matters (or should matter) is the delivery of justice. And the only people given that responsibility were the members of the jury. Who, apparently, did not hang on Nancy Grace or greedily examine the doc dumps. They were selected with their relative neutrality in mind.
The tools they used to render their verdict were simple and few. And NONE of the tools they used had anything to do with media circuses, talking heads and Sunshine Laws.
So no, IMO, there is no logical reason to connect the two, and thus cancel court on TV to prevent . . . well, prevent WHAT? Prevent individuals who dig in and sleuth out evidence and make independent decisions based upon released information and then opinionate about it

I guess the criminals to be in Florida better think it through, with those Sunshine Laws and Websleuths and the plethora of talking heads out there clamping down on them. Even if their jury is . . . um, lacking in the willingness to think department . . . the public just might make up it's OWN mind. EXUSE ME!! I mean, US!! ((lol!)) for thinking for ourselves and being outspoken in a free country about it
