About this Article

State prosecutors and the Illinois attorney general’s office objected Friday to one of the first efforts to allow cameras in a state courtroom — the upcoming case of multiple murder suspect Nicholas Sheley — arguing it would make it difficult to give him a fair trial. Advocates of television cameras and photographers inside state courtrooms view Sheley’s upcoming trial as a test of the Illinois Supreme Court’s recently announced experiment with the practice.
