Media Coverage of the Conspiracy Trial

[RJNorton]

Betty, I am not knowledgeable on this topic, but didn't the coverage tend toward sensationalism (at least to some degree)? They would spend a lot of time describing the facial reactions and mannerisms of the accused and perhaps embellishing somewhat on their courtroom behavior. Wasn't there a lot of editorializing when it came to those on trial? And didn't the press make an issue of the fact that Mary Walker attended court?
