To the Editor:Re “Let the World See the Jan. 6 Trial,” by Steven Brill (Opinion guest essay, Aug. 7):If you put a live camera in the courtroom with Donald Trump, you will give him exactly what he wants. The trial will very quickly spin out of control, and that is exactly what Mr. Trump wants. You will never convince Mr. Trump’s die-hards that he got a fair trial. Conduct a normal untelevised trial and prepare for violence if Mr. Trump is convicted. The pending trial of Donald Trump on charges related to the 2020 election will be, far and away, the most important court proceeding of our lifetimes.
