Attorney asks judge to halt YouTube live stream over child privacy; judge agrees
Summary
During the Boyd v. Paige hearing, counsel asked that the court stop the YouTube broadcast because of sensitive issues involving the child; the presiding judge agreed to stop the live stream.
Counsel asked the presiding judge to stop the hearing's YouTube broadcast, citing sensitive issues affecting the child in the case, and said she did not believe opposing counsel objected. Miss Cockrell told the court, "I don't believe Miss Smith has an objection, but that this hearing not be produced on YouTube. I think there's some sensitive issues that uh for the child."
The presiding judge responded, "That's fine. We will stop the live stream and go from there," and the hearing continued off the live feed. The transcript shows the request was made immediately after counsel raised the drug-test exhibit issue.
The record on the provided transcript does not include further explanation of the specific privacy concerns or a formal order describing the scope or duration of the broadcast restriction.
