@Dalimam5056 @CPSSLaw2022 @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Even without the use of live broadcasting, cases are always going to be deabted on social media…

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

With the rise of social media usage and technology in society, allowing cameras into Canadian courtrooms has become a controversial topic that may intensify efforts to bring accountability and transparency into the evolving justice system.

@CPSSLaw2022 @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ It’s the jury’s responsibility to form their own opinions and the right to an impartial jury is guaranteed in section 11(d)- R. v. Sherratt. A jury member MUST consider a case fairly without discriminating against anyone, look at evidence and hear arguments with an open mind.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@sdcilaw @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Court transcripts must be ordered and a fee must be payed… how is this accessible?

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@CPSSLaw2022 @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Depp is one of the biggest film stars in the world… of course a case in which he is involved in would attract extreme public attention🤨

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@aishamahmoud_ @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Making the jurors job easier is arguably NOT the point of serving justice. Sure, the subconscious opinions may be influenced but the real question is how could we prevent that with live broadcasting and social media, where opinions on cases are already public…

@aishamahmoud_ @ProvostLaw @OJEN_ROEJ Like many topics in society, cases will always be discussed on social media, even without live broadcasting. A jury member must consider a case fairly without discriminating against anyone, look at evidence and hear arguments with an open mind.

@OJEN_ROEJ The drive takes 30+ minutes or even longer with public transport, that might not even stop near their house, depending on the size of the community.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@OJEN_ROEJ Personally, I believe that they definitely do! When individuals live in large cities, they may potentially have more access to public transport, and live closer to courts as most courthouses are situated in the heart of most cities.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@OJEN_ROEJ The 3 court houses in Hamilton, are located downtown and in close proximity to each-other. People that live in more remote areas such as past Flamborough, need to commute to these court houses.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@OJEN_ROEJ Limitations on when the footage is released or when it is broadcasted can also be applied to ensure the upmost safety.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@OJEN_ROEJ For instance, large, flashy cameras may be distracting and cause stress that could potentially alter the results of a trial. Small, discrete cameras could be used to avoid exerting influence on court proceedings.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

@OJEN_ROEJ Finding a balance between the interest in transparency and fairness could be possibly implemented by having limitations on allowing cameras in court rooms that ensure all parties have a fair trial.

[Emilia @ekasprza8197]

The use of case law and Charter connections ascertain that s. 136 (1) of the Courts of Justice Act, should be reconsidered to allow live broadcasting, with certain, limitations to reflect the progressing technological and societal changes.

If anything allowing live broadcasting would increase the number of opportunities the public has to formulate their own, unbiased opinions.

Such thoughts and opinions could be used for the betterment of the justice system to overturn wrongful convictions, further educate the public and promote legal culture.
