The state experiment with cameras in the courts is continuing to grow… but there’s still no indication that Sangamon County will sign on any time soon.
Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride says the pilot project he started last spring will soon move into the Chicago area for the first time, with DuPage County starting to allow cameras and microphones in to cover court proceedings.
Several other jurisdictions around the state are also taking part, and Kilbride says it seems to be going well. But he says that’s no guarantee that the effort will go statewide anytime soon.
