You know; I cannot understand why "locked down" courtrooms are allowed for criminal charges:

Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
The verdict is part of the trial and should therefore be public... though I suppose that if it's at the state-level there is argument that the 6th Amendment is not binding on those courts.

Jodi Arias' trial was open and for the verdict - and what she did didn't affect the whole nation and NOW the courtroom is locked down for this multiple murderer for hire? There is no word to describe this lowest of the low scum.

We are being played with what 'they' want us to focus on - what should be more important to us than killing the defenseless.
