I thought the judge's sentencing remarks, delivered so matter of factly and starkly following what sound like the most horrendous victims' statements, were incredibly powerful - and much more powerful for being seen than just read.
I think judges remarks are fine to show but it is risky airing it live if protected information is going to be mentioned as part of their statement as someday an error is bound to made and protected information accidentally broadcast.
