VIDEO: Courthouse Media Circus For Hearing
It is quite a spectacle. Each network and each TV station has set up a spot where they have their reporter and camera. The entire plaza is filled with reporters, tents, lights and satellite trucks.In the midst of all the chaos, the courthouse still has to continue its normal business. There are dozens of other cases and hundreds of people going in and out to conduct their normal court business. Some weren't happy with all the media mayhem."You have to go around here this way. It's a bit too much," complained court customer Stephanie Sease."The problem with the media, no offense, is there is too much of it," said attorney Richard Valle.Crews from Texas, Colorado, Atlanta and even Good Morning America came to get a shot of Nowak. Folks at the courthouse, though, have mixed feelings on the spectacle."It's an important part, because it's the citizen's right to know," said court employee Sally Wolfe."I think, leave the poor lady alone. Let the court do their jobs and stop hounding her. Let her be," Valle said.
