Judge mulls allowing cameras at California freedom to marry trial

May 26, 2010

As reported by The Associated Press:

 

A federal judge overseeing a lawsuit challenging California's freedom to marry ban is considering whether to allow closing arguments to be broadcast on television or the Internet.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued a notice Tuesday stating he would hear final arguments on June 16.

Walker heard more than two weeks of testimony in January but delayed closing arguments to allow lawyers to submit more evidence.

..."Walker in January authorized real-time streaming of the proceedings for viewing in other federal courthouses and a delayed transmission on YouTube. But the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the broadcasts at the request of Proposition 8 sponsors."
