Journalists Kept in Court After Jackson MD Leaves

I don't know if this means anything or not, but I thought I would post the following:

Sounds like they just wanted to keep the press from swarming on Dr. Murray.

hmmm...that's interesting. Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of this before and sounds like it's normally illegal for them to stop reporters. My brain is simmering on that....

Thanks RAYVYN. Anyway, I don't trust reporters nowadays unlike before when reporters really report the truth. Anyway, the officer was just following what he was ordered to do. Where were the reporters on JUNE 25 and the following days? And whatever went on the courtroom, is none of their business - that's what they did with MJ's trial(no honest report whatsoever) . So I believe reporters are supposed to wait outside the courtroom and wait for news comments and
questions, right - there's a certain alotted time for the media. They just can't swarm the courtroom when they feel like, to justify the freedom of speech/media.

Pity no one ever gave Michael the same courtesy

i agree

You know whats funny? That the cameras were allowed in the courtroom for Murrays hearing but yet we saw nothing in the courtroom with all the Jackson hearings.....

OMG, I know right?......... hmmmm, that says a lot right there

Are cameras typically allowed in a courtroom like that? I don't really watch many court hearings on TV so was just curious if this is normal??

Well, they are on Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, stuff like that... but for cases like this, maybe, but for the public eye, it depends...

Like the OJ Simpson case... but Michael's was private. And like Jacksonologist said, it's interesting that Murray's was so open..

it was open because they needed to show us something or prove something

The judge also has to approve cameras...you cant just show up and expect to film....
