Well, we'll just have to wait and see. I think outside reporters will be there. It's hard for me to imagine there won't be. Lawyers (which most of these court-watcher journalists are) know the importance of pre-trial motions.
I certainly share your lack of trust in the local yokel media, though.
I think there will be national reporters there too. It's a big case and it touches on all those issues the MSM loves so much - race, class, "privledge", and so on. I don't think they'll be able to resist. As long as we get one really good reporter like Megyn Kendall in there I think it's fine. I would prefer the cameras though because of all the public attention this case has received.
