Last week, cameras were allowed in a Fairfax County Courtroom for the first time in the history of Fairfax County for the trial of Commonwealth v. Blanco involving the murder of Vanessa Pham.
Today, Peggy Fox with WUSA posted an interview with one of my favorite Fairfax County Circuit Court Judges Jane Marum Roush regarding the experience. Here's the story.
Cameras in Virginia courtrooms are not something most of us in the legal profession are used to seeing. Many worry it will negatively affect how justice is rendered.
Some of my colleagues have told me that cameras can affect whether witnesses are willing to come to court or even testify.
I'm normally all for sunshine and courtrooms are opening proceedings, on the record, with or without cameras.
What do you think?
