Defense: Ban camera from theater shooting trial

From The Associated Press:  Attorneys for Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes are asking the judge to bar television coverage inside the courtroom, saying it would violate Holmes’ right to a fair trial.

In a filing released Friday, defense lawyers argued that televising the trial could intimidate witnesses, expose jurors and attorneys to death threats and create other problems.

They said broadcasting the trial would be entertainment, not education, and it wouldn’t improve the public’s impression of the court system.
