Justice for Luigi Mangione: Demand Cameras in New York Courtrooms
We urge you to bring transparency to New York’s judicial system by allowing cameras in courtrooms. Justice must be accessible to the public, not hidden behind closed doors.
Many other states, including California, Florida, and Texas, already permit cameras in courtrooms, allowing citizens to witness and understand how justice is served.
New Yorkers deserve the same transparency in our legal system.
New Yorkers deserve the same transparency in our legal system.
By supporting legislation and policies to allow cameras in courtrooms, you can ensure that justice is not only done but seen to be done. Transparency builds trust, promotes accountability, and strengthens our democracy.
We urge you to take immediate action to bring New York in line with other states and make our courtrooms accessible to the people they serve.
Why is this important?
- It Promotes Accountability: Public access ensures judges, lawyers, and all participants are held to the highest standards.
- It Builds Trust: Transparency fosters confidence in the legal system and demonstrates that justice is being served fairly.
- It Educates the Public: Cameras provide an opportunity for citizens to better understand the judicial process, making justice accessible to all.
Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done. By permitting cameras in courtrooms, you can bring New York’s legal system into the 21st century and ensure fairness and accountability for all. We urge you to act now.
