Cameras on trial

Posted:

The second murder trial of accused spree killer, Nicholas Sheley, wasn't just to see if he was innocent or guilty, but to test whether or not cameras could be used in Illinois courtrooms.

Attorneys involved in the Whiteside County trial say things went smoothly, but they still have reservations about the future.

Sheley's attorney worries the coverage will make it harder to seat an unbiased jury in his client's next trial, which involves four people found dead in a Rock Falls apartment.
