In your country or state or region or whatever - in courtrooms...

  1. Do you have courtroom sketch artists?

  2. Are cameras allowed?

  3. Are video cameras allowed?

  4. Are computers allowed?

  5. Are cellphones allowed but must they be turned off?

  6. What am I forgetting to ask?

[Edits: More list items to go here.]

I'm American but I'd like to know about states and federal trials because probably some of what I assume is wrong or dead wrong.

Edit: In my other thread abc has comment (with a link and quote) about how Lindbergh baby changed the rules of American courtrooms - https://hexbear.net/comment/4911525

    I think court should take place in a building built in the center of what used to be some dumbass mega stadium, build it out of glass and connect it to the prison/ wherever with secret underground train. Build the coutroom out of transparent material, then sell tickets to sit in the stadium and broadcast the courtroom on the jumbotron

      It should have MMA-like commentary too.

      "OH MY GOODNESS! This exhibit by the defense is gonna be like a scissor kick to the face of the prosecution! KO comin' up?!?"

      "I don't know, Joe. I think the prosecution's gonna block it and respond with a knock down followed by some serious ground 'n pound."

      Joe is annoyed but pretending not to be: "We'll see. We'll see."

        The walls are soundproofed, but you can't help but notice the audience lose their minds after the last sentence you said

        lmao
