CBS Minnesota November 12, 2021 A state court advisory committee meets Friday to discuss whether to allow more video coverage of criminal proceedings in Minnesota. Chief Justice Lorie Gildea directed the panel to study the issue in June after coverage of the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd got widespread national viewership. "While the decision to allow camera coverage of this trial was based on the unprecedented public health restrictions in place during the pandemic, it would be a mistake for us not to reflect on the lessons learned and experiences gained through this process," the chief justice said at the time.
