Supreme Court expands access to criminal trials for press and public
The U S Supreme Court ruled 6 3 that automatic exclusion of spectators from criminal trials is unconstitutional expanding the right of press and public to attend. The decision cites protecting youth victims and argues closures must be narrow and case by case. The ruling involved a Boston Globe case where a 1979 trial was entirely closed.
