TV cameras to be allowed into criminal court trials for sentencing

TV cameras are to be allowed into criminal trials for the first time from tomorrow, but will only be able to film a few minutes of each case.

Coverage will be restricted to the judge handing down a sentence and explaining the reasons for it, with a time delay to avoid broadcasting any violent or abusive reaction.

Sky News has been campaigning for greater openness of television cameras in courts for all media for many years.
