StumbleJudge to permit live broadcast of Strohmeyer trial
Tuesday, Aug. 4, 1998 | 9:24 a.m.
The Long Beach, Calif. teen-ager is accused of killing 7-year-old Sherrice Iverson of Los Angeles in a restroom at a Primm, Nev. casino May 25, 1997.
Attorneys for the 19-year-old defendant have been trying to block publicity about the case. A former judge, Don Chairez, ruled that local television and newspaper cameras would be allowed, but Court TV would not be.
Chairez stepped down from the bench earlier this year to run for Congress and District Judge Myron Leavitt took over the case.
Leavitt ordered Monday that Court TV could broadcast the proceedings.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Aug. 17.
