Real Court TV

Jury trials are sooo inefficient... working citizens have to take time from their lives to sit in a jury box and watch the slow machinations of a court proceeding. Approaching the bench, swearing in the witness, walking to and from the stand, breaks for lunch, waiting for late arrivals, etc.

Here's my idea for a better way: court proceedings should be filmed, with multiple cameras covering all relevant parties at all times, then edited down to the actual proceedings -- no editorial decisions are made of course, just the waiting around is taken out so you get a concentrated film of just what the jury needs to see.

And that dirty trick lawyers play of saying something inappropriate, knowing it will be stricken from the record, but also knowing that no juror can magically forget what they just heard, would no longer work, because any comments to be stricken from the record would actually be stricken from the record, i.e. edited out of the final video that is shown to jurors!
