Also, I do NOT think that there should be media and an audience in the courtroom. It added unnecessary pressure to the jury. Some cases should have a closed court room. They can still televise it, but they jury wouldn't be privy to it.

I gotta agree w you again. This was very prejudicial to grant this request. It will probably be something interesting discussed in psychology classes - did facing the jury get them to psychologically connect w her?
