It could be even harder to protect the jury from being seen at all. Apparently, the coutroom is small. Still, I wish we could, too, or even just have access to recordings. I do not care to see his theatrics--he'd be even worse. I've seen him enough, frankly. But I would rather hear the attorneys and witnesses, and the judge, when he calls them to the bench or tells T to sit down, etc.
This trial should be televised. You are correct that DT uses every opportunity to address the public at the court breaks—with no filter, spewing lie after lie. That is frustrating. I am watching morning news and of course his comments after yesterday’s end of testimony aired in full, no context— nothing to counter his lies. Morning news—do better.
The only gagging going on re The Trumpster’s barbs and lying comments uttered after his hours in court seems to be ours as we listeners nearly vomit. He’s getting away with murder verbally while also getting free air time.
Today Professor Richardson provided a great synopsis of the MAGA failures in Congress, then highlighted the overwhelming victory in Tennessee by workers seeking unionization in spite of a full frontal assault by several southern governors. She ended her lesson on the trial, one that NO commoner or even mob boss could experience! For the accused to label a witness a liar is just too much to bear! In the meantime Joe is trying to spread his message with limited coverage…..
I understand the desire to protect the jurors while attempting to protect us all from his rants. But having watched Watergate and other trials, I do feel shut out from this one. Transcripts will help as would audio tapes of the witnesses.
His lies are never challenged or called out for what they really are.

Transcripts will be published. https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/press/pdfs/PR24_19.pdf

I’m with you, Susan. Why do we have to hear the Orange Bloviator continue his ridiculous rants after every court session?
