Your point is well taken, but I believe under our Constitution we are supposed to presume he's innocent until proven guilty.
As for Judge Matsch, he does run a very tight courtroom and trial. For the OKC Bombing Trial we actually had a paid media type coordinating coverage, a huge home base platform for standups, etc. The company I was with at the time did all of the transmission for CNN and some others and we had a mini-remote control room in a building on the next block from the courthouse.
The good news is that Denver is much better prepared to handle this than a small mountain town (that's assuming the criminal trial up there will not take place). In the past few years we've had the G-8, the Pope, the OKC trial and a number of other high profile events.
The radio host murder trial alluded to was a talk show host (Alan Berg) who worked in the same building I did until the radio station was sold. Strange guy, but good person.
