DIR TRIAL
American Bar Ruac. Journal
Tb* first "live” telecast of a
j court tnal took place on Decern
her 6 ISM, in Warn. Texas, at
Harry L Washburn was tried for
murder in th* Fifty fourth
j trirt Court lerfor • Judge
Bartlett
Telertsion bad apparently first
l»ern allowed in an American
trial court on December 13. t*B3
during the proceeding against
Billy Fugene Manley in Ok la
h'-ma City Ot that time, cameras
firm WK'i'TV were housed In
a* spa dally constructed booth
entirely enclosed, in ihe rear of
j the courtroom. Sound was re-
corded on a microphone bidden
near the front of the court
J while additional lighting wa-.
provided by photo flood light*
placed in the chandclierv WKY
TV filmed Ihe swearing in of tb»-
jury, some of the Inal testi
rnony »vl the senten mg qf

bown after fitting, during new*
broadcast* Judge A P Van
Meter had a small button fast
•ned to his desk which he cou’d
push at anv time to discontinue
automatically the operation of
*he cameras
The "live" television Inal in
Waeo was the outgrowth of a
successful press photography ex
penment staged during a trial
before Judge Bartlett the pno>
summer The Waeo television
cam-ramen did their work from
the balcony behind the Jury
Rejctiom to the Waco icr
breaking experiment were mix
rd Mr Washburn was quoted as
approving with the statement
"Naw. let it go alt over the world
I don't care One reporter, favor
ing the admission of television
cameras to court*, added, how
ever, that there should he iom«
retrain!*." In particular, he fa
vortd a ' periodic resume of pro
vino testimony’' and "discretion
>p what hoiiM and should not be
flashed on tbo serren ” Anofhor
-oforter also stressed the ne**d
for courtroom control of tele
in the
"the a-
tual camera coverage is tip to a
director who has little or no
courtro-nu experience, and wrho
is looking for effect and photos;
rapliv as rntrh a* salient points"
Dm* Juror felt that '‘television
in the courtroom Os definitely
beneficial to the person on trial
a* well as educational to the
public viewers," while anothei
juror, a senior law school stu
dent, fell that there was much
to l»e said on both sides of the
issue, though in summary he ex
pressed the belief that "much
ould be learned about Ihe sys-
tem of jifisnrudettee and Ihe re
latmnship of the (tropic of the
'ommun'ty with tl»e courtroom
by means of television ”
When Judge W H Duckworth f
of Georgia. ( hairman of th« .
Conference of Chief Justices of
the United States, said that tele
vision made a “hull fight” out of
the Waro trial, and "thwarted
the very essence of Justice,"
Judge Bartlett replied "That’s
water olf mv hark, just like a
dude**. When Fulton used his
first steamboat, he was jeered,
hut the steamboat is, accepted
now. They just don't understand I
if they understood how this i*
being handled they wouldn't ob- i
ject."
As a matter of fart, it was
true thai the farther and more
econd handed the origin of th°
•omments on the Vaco trial Ihr
morr likely it was that they
would hr critical of the proceed-
ings A national magazine edi
tonally commented that a “new
intimidating element" had been
ntrodueed at Waro.«and added
that "televising of criminal
trial* would seem to represent a
throw havk to the days when the
execution of criminals provided
greatly savored and excitedly
celebrated public spectacles !*
A committee under the direr
tion of Abner V McCall liean of
