.......of televising the pistorius trial, if they never film the witness box?

i do not understand

[jackthehat]

Do you need to be able to see the witnesses to be able to follow the trial?

[Old_Geezer]

Not supposed to be entertainment: well not really.

Witnesses identity protection?

[chilli]

he asked not to be filmed when giving evidence

[Eve]

I understood the witnesses were given a choice as to whether their testimony was filmed so they are able to opt out if they wish.

[black_cat51]

the judge has said that although it is televised, people don't have to appear if they don't want to.

[Peter Pedant]

the way he is going, he is gonna throw himself out of the witness box and in the way of the camera

[Peter Pedant]

Oh God he is crying again

the judge has made up ''a flash-light' which really did cause silence in court.

he said he fired four shots into the door and didnt mean to kill anyone
