All indicates that Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá is not pleased at all with the idea of giving the people of Puerto Rico the chance to listen to all that transpires during his upcoming federal trial.
After Chief Justice of the Federal Court José A. Fusté refused [the Noti Uno] 630 [news radio station's] request to broadcast the trial live, the Chief Executive yesterday let the ideal moment pass when he could have told the citizens and the federal authorities that he has nothing to hide, that he has no fear of having the people who elected him to govern listen to everything that comes out during the trial, thus supporting 630's initiative to allow the people access.
On the contrary, Acevedo seemed to take advantage of the Court's decision and limited himself to responding that he will leave that in the Court's hands.
It must be pointed out that, in order to get a response from the Governor, Noti Uno had to follow him because, once more, he tried to avoid answering questions about the federal case. Although many hoped for the Governor to support 630's action because it would be a way to show that he had nothing to fear, it did not happen.

not all courts are broadcast. Many states do not permit trials being broadcast. The SCOTUS refuse cameras. this is a non issue (unless reporters are not allowed in the courtroom).
PR is on a broadcast roll!!! LOL!
I wonder how the ratings were with Larry Sinclair
Wow, Heil Hitler, huh?
