What's your definition of "corrupt or inept"? Mugging for the cameras at the expense of concentrating on the evidence and points of law seems corrupt and inept to me.
Besides, a court recorder transcribes everything said. So you already have an official record with which to expose corruption.
Televising high-profile cases only makes them more susceptible to "trial by public opinion" and tainting of the jury pool. Originally Posted by lustylad

And that trial was televised, had huge interest, and there was no mugging for the cameras or tainting of the jury. Actually you can't taint a jury pool because they are selected before the trial begins. Maybe you meant tainting of the jury - but they are given rules to follow.
Plus without televising high profile cases, the only way the public knows what is happening in them is through a highly biased media. All one had to do is watch the livestream of the Rittenhouse trial and compare it to the slanted news coverage by the mainstream media to know you can't trust the mainstream media
