Restrict the Media in High Profile Court Cases

Created by B.Y. on March 13, 2015

The united states should restrict the media's access to high profile cases. Despite the fact that this could result outrage because of the "unconstitutional" aspect, overall the media and the bias it brings can also result in ruining the right to a fair trial So finally the media should be limited becuase Media coverage can promote an escalation of public rage and violence; and
, Court cases with excessive media involvement have resulted in harassment, death threats, and actual attacks toward those on trial; and
If the media’s coverage were limited in high profile cases, those who are declared innocent would have a better opportunity of moving on from the the case and the defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty and have the right of privacy.
