Taxpayers have now paid out $838k for Arias Trial...?

It's going to go another 2 weeks at least. This waste of money is really not justified. Do you believe we should have a qucker way for trials and how do you suggest we do that?

We already know she's guilty because she admitted to killing him. How can we as a society move along this sort of trial because we get these kind of trials alot lately and they cost millions of dollars in tax money. What do you suggest?

    I think all courts should have televised cover, you see you can go into any court and watch and listen to any trial. so it or all courts should have video coverage. and they should have the death sentence and carry it out, " cost effective", as for money we all know who is getting rich out of the criminal justice system. How do you stop that.

    I am not quite sure why this trial has captured the public imagination however, perhaps if the networks want to broadcast it, they can pay the state money to help offset state expenses (although as this is the first time I really have thought of this idea I do see drawbacks too...as in "Do we really want the networks having a say the justice system"....so maybe as I think about it, that's a bad idea)

    We are a society that believes in justice and laws and so we have to pay for it.

    Why on earth her trial is costing this kind of money I just don't know. She was not OJ Simpson. WHO was this woman that she is capturing the attention of many crime watchers?

    Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If the "proven" part takes months, then thats how it goes. I think what is more important is making every trial take less time. Like so many other governmental things, they always are the worst running.
