One of the biggest trials of the year, with international interest and this is the best audio and video this courtroom will provide? What an absolute crock from this judge!

[@annettelacey7913]

I'm watching from Australia,iv been waiting for this since I first heard about this case,

[@JenniferRay-h1i]

Yes I can't stand this judge or the prosecutors in this case , both fought to keep cameras out of the courtroom, we're stuck with this horrible court camera and mic's, they've already had a 100 sidebars and it's just the first day , the dramatics of the judge and prosecutors are ridiculous, everything is a big secret, I've never seen anything like it in a high profile case

[@mynameiseve.1]

east idaho news even offered to buy them better cameras and mics but the court declined the offer.

[@persephone1583]

It's only watchable/ audible when using CC on KZbin. This judge is total Bull cr@p, hopefully Arizona will have decent courtroom cameras & mics.

i bet its pure defiance. courts hate it when the trials are broadcasted to the public so they make it as horrible as possible for us to watch...and hear. im convinced of that! well, at least we can kinda see and kinda listen. lori daybells trial was an audio nightmare

[@Ytdeletesallmycomments]

It is normal for courts. Audio is really bad this time. Especially with the ads that pop up very loud and gives me jumpscares. 😂😂😂

I doubt it. Better watch something else, where one does not need to focus entirely on making out what is being said.

[@tresaten476]

Murdaugh case camera, video, sound and view angles were great.

[@PrincessPoohs]

I’ve never seen so much cross examination on direct! It’s ridiculous what the judge is letting Pryor get away with here. He’s setting a precedent to have the longest most plodding ridiculous trial. Pryor knows what he’s doing. Wood has yet to be able to get in any type of rhythm. And the judge is just letting it happen. He should say “state, please lay more foundation” rather than letting Pryor “voir dire” (cross damn examine if you ask me) all over the place. Ugh.

The news/media is not allowed to put their own cameras in the courtroom. What we are seeing and hearing is the courts camera and audio. That is why the quality isnt good.

[@thatpersonontheinternet]

I really wish you could see the exhibits from the projector better. Nevertheless I'm grateful that it gets live-streamed at least and not only audio like Lori's trial.

[@nataliemarchetti1855]

They should do the “spotlight” layout option on zoom. That way every time someone speaks it spotlights their face/camera only.

[@kimward5746]

so sad not to have close-ups for witness testimony. it's so important to be able to see the witness' face and mannerisms.... very sad that this won't be documented.

As a Brit who stumbled across this by accident and knowing nothing of it Im enthralled. The croaky audio doesnt take anything away from it.

[@lyndachabane1931]

John Prior is so obnoxious, objecting at every moment with the most ridiculous, irrelevant comments. Him and Chad deserve each other.

The reason defense lawyers make so many objections is because they can only appeal on issues they objected to during the trial.

I can't believe the prosecutor is literally, reading his Opening Statement, for a case, of this magnitude! Disappointed with audio & video.

[@loislane856]

👏 Thankyou for saying this..I literally just commented that we should have had someone like Creighton Waters who right through Alex Murdaugh case was impressively strong..the opening to this DP case was like watching a school principal speaking to students about some misbehaving..

[@Tinks82]

It's so disappointing when we go from watching an interesting trial with impressive attorneys, great audio & video, to this. This is a worldwide murder trial so, I was surprised to see the State Prosecutor, actually reading his Opening without much emphasis. I think we ALL just expected better, all the way around lol. 😅

[@nh6central]

Using headphones helps a lot with the muffled audio. Not so much with the atrocious split screen where you can’t see anyone 🤬

[@pattiburns1280]

Been looking forward to this trial and I am so disappointed that it is televised via Zoom!?? The sound is horrific and the shots of the courtroom are absolutely useless. I wondered why there were barely any views.

Why court tv? its the boise courthouse. they are only allowing via zoom so no channels who are broadcasting can be blamed here. east idaho news even offered the courthouse to purchase better cameras and mics but they declined the offer.

So maybe its just my 'tism (I don't think it is) but it feels like a lot of the people commenting here upset about the way the prosecutor handled himself and wasn't theatrical or showy enough has really forgotten that this isn't for our entertainment. The jury isn't expecting the prosecutor to be elaborate and showy, they expect facts, evidence and straight forwardness that keeps things as simple and easy to understand as possible. Yall are so wrapped up in the true crime trend that you're forgetting its not just a form of entertainment.
