Will Cameras Be Allowed in OKC Pharmacy Murder Trial?

Oklahoma County Dist. Judge Tammy Bass-Lesure

The murder trial of white Oklahoma City pharmacist Jerome Eersland, accused of murdering a black 14-year old robbery suspect, could become a nationally watched trial if the Judge Tammy Bass-Lesure allows cameras into a courtroom for the first time in Oklahoma history.

According to reports, both District Attorney David Prater and Defense Counsel Irvin Box have given the thumbs-up to cameras. It’s a good bet that the local stations, the cable networks and Court TV would be televising parts of the trial live if Judge Bass-Lesure says yes.

I certainly think the ‘public’ trial should be available to the greatest number possible of citizens. I vote YES.
