Make the television broadcast of court trials illegal. Ban cameras and cable networks from courtrooms.

This has gone on for long enough.

News channels such as HLN and CNN, along with anchors such as Nancy Grace and Jane Vellez Mitchell continue to broadcast sensitive court cases such as the Casey Anthony trial.

In our court system, we can proudly proclaim that the innocent are innocent until proven guilty. This does not hold true with networks like HLN, where the anchors have dramatized the case and decided for themselves that the suspects are guilty and should be sentenced to death immediately.
Casey Anthony was put into a protection program because the people of the united states who saw her trial were fueled into a rage and actively send her death threats. This could have been prevented had the trial been kept private until the hearing was concluded.

The accused deserve a chance.
