What if they held a trial and it wasn't on TV?
Scary thought, but it happens thousands of times every day around the world.

Attorneys ply their best legal gambits, judges render case rulings, juries are sequestered and make their deliberations, a finding is reached, and justice, flawed or otherwise, is dispensed according to the law.

There are no talk show hosts in most trials. Notoriety is slim for most of the accused and slimmer for most victims.

Talking heads don't fuel endless debates about talking head issues on endless talking head venues about talking head issues.

No one really "wins", but matters get settled as well as possible. And that may be the big picture.

Life goes on.

Just my 2 cents in the midst of the media frenzy.

1. Thank you for saying it.
I absolutely pine for the days when trials were held in courtrooms, not on TV.

2. It'd make me happy
I'm tired of the endless name-calling and non-int conjecture.

She's a lying ho!

They're evil, racist, white rapists!

This is what passes for intellectual discourse now-a-days.
