Current Restrictions: Many court systems now allow individuals to watch the videos at the courthouse but prohibit them from obtaining their own copies.

A Rare Glimpse: Zoom Technology in the Courtroom

Rockind expresses concern that such a probe—led by the executive branch against the judiciary—could have a "chilling effect" on judges who exercise independence from the prosecution.#neilrockind #killercrossexamination #detroit #detroitnews #prosecutor #kymworthy #ronaldgiles #legalnews #legal Key Details of the ControversyThe Investigation: Prosecutor Kym Worthy directed her staff to review Judge Giles' decisions, particularly regarding case dismissals, due to concerns that he may have "made up some law" in his rulings.Rockind's Critique: Rockind argues that if a prosecutor disagrees with a judge’s decision, the appropriate remedy is an appeal, not an investigation into the judge's docket.Judicial Independence: The host frames the probe as an "attack" on the judiciary, emphasizing that judges should act as neutral "umpires" who are not afraid to hold prosecutors and police accountable.Background on Judge Giles: Judge Giles has a history of high-profile dismissals, including a recent October 2025 case where he dropped attempted murder charges due to a lack of evidence.About Neil Rockind - Neil Rockind is a trial lawyer.
