Logistical challenges in live-streaming a US trial over the death of George Floyd
Logistical challenges in live-streaming a US trial over the death of George Floyd
30 March 2021
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin , is facing murder and manslaughter charges this morning.
Philip Morgan QC was a Crown lawyer in the 2017 Mark Lundy Court of Appeal case here.
He says live streaming that case was immaterial, because it was only judges and lawyers.
But he says it can be harder to control what's said - or can be publicly said - in a trial.
Philip Morgan says there'll likely be a delay on the live-stream to allow for censoring anything that shouldn't be said publicly.
