In some countries criminal trials are shown on television for the public do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

There has been a widespread argument spanning across several Nations that the legal proceedings and sentences of lawbreakers and felon be broadcasted for the Citizens to view. While

this

argument has its advantages and disadvantages, I am of the opinion that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Firstly

such

For example

, Nevada recently had a very public murder case which was cut short when the defendant escaped custody while being transported back to his prison cell. A two-day Manhunt was cut short when several eyewitnesses who had recognised him from the news called in with tips to help the police. To conclude, though the families of the accused
