Unless someone is arrested in the courthouse, there is no reason for an arrestee to be escorted through the courthouse. In fact, it probably violates a sheriff policy.

An arestee is going to be booked on 2nd Avenue, at the back of the Mult Co Detention Center. The media is probably staked out on 5th Avenue because the Sheriff's have been using the back-side entrance to shuttle some family members in and out of the courthouse quickly and quietly.

Seems to me the cameras are just staking out who is going in and out of grand jury proceedings. We know they are attempting to indict someone for something, but that's about it.

I work across the street from the courthouse and those camera people have been there all week. They are simply stalking any witnesses called to the Grand Jury proceedings so they can get footage to show on the evening news.

I don't believe any arrest is more imminent today than any other day.

Here's a scenario: Reporter from inside the courthouse is observing who is going in and out of the grand jury room to testify. They know the name of the witness because the court clerk steps out in the hall and calls their name. Reporter inside then notifies the camera person out on the sidewalk to get some footage of said witness walking back to their car.

Since no one else is, I'll take the first guess - The step-mom.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.

Yes, they've been there all week.

I can't help but wonder what value footage of someone leaving the courthouse adds to the story. It certainly adds to the circus....

Franci, I just glanced at your comment and read it as "certainly adds fleas to the circus," which turned out to be one of those wrong readings that seems right . . .

Television is a visual medium. Therefore, they need B-roll to show you while the reporter is reporting stuff that they have no footage of.

Hack editors love to show people walking down courthouse steps while hack reporters talk about legal proceedings, because they can't actually take cameras into the courtrooms, and can't get people who actually know something to talk on camera.
