But when judges slammed the courtroom door on the public, including the press, it became impossible to tell the whole story. Pinning its hopes on business lawyerJim Ward, whom Press-Enterprise editor Tim Hays had come to know and trust, the newspaper took two cases to the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1980s. Hays was convinced that the public-including the press-needed to have these rights and needed to bear witness to justice because healing in the aftermath of a horrible crime could not occur without community catharsis.The newspaper won both cases and established First Amendment rights that significantly broadened public access to the judicial system, including the right for the public to witness jury selection and preliminary hearings. Justice in Plain Sight is a unique story that, for the first time, details two improbable journeys to the Supreme Court in which the stakes were as high as they could possibly be (and still are): the public's trust in its own government. 606 $aJournalism, Legal$zUnited States 606 $aFree press and fair trial$zUnited States 606 $aConduct of court proceedings$zUnited States 606 $aNewspaper court reporting$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJournalism, Legal 615 0$aFree press and fair trial 615 0$aConduct of court proceedings 615 0$aNewspaper court reporting 676 $a070.4/49347731 700 $aBernstein$b Dan$01806846 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960851603321 996 $aJustice in Plain Sight$94356244 997 $aUNINA
