It would be nice to hear this live, as unlikely as that is.
I’m guessing if it goes to trial, it would still not be broadcasted? I distinctly remember hearing it wasn’t going to be since it was a family matter. I don’t believe anything regarding that has changed.
J&DR was a closed court. Now that it's moving into Circuit Court, things are different. The Law experts here have explained this in previous posts. Hearings would likely be closed, but an actual trial would likely be open and thus eligible for cameras to be present.
Courts have no requirement to stream open trials, though some did during Covid as a way to keep courts "open". It's not technically or financially feasible for all courts to stream.
Big name trials that you might have seen broadcast (Kyle Rittenhouse, Depp v. Heard, etc) usually require coordination from media outlets, called a "pool". The reason is that pools are less intrusive in the courtroom than 20 different media outlets all there with their own cameras (though this kind of circus has happened before). Usually, the local television stations will get together and everyone will either chip in equipment (thus pooling their resources) and/or money to rent equipment (generally remote controlled cameras.) The whole point of this, again, is to prevent the courtroom from being filled with 30 news photographers with tripods and big cameras covered in various accouterments.
ALL of that relies on the approval from the Judge, though as I said before, the Judge is more likely to grant the privilege of cameras in the courtroom to credentialed media than a bunch of weens asking to post their cell phone recordings to YouTube.
All that said, it's unlikely the local media (Especially as the "big four" TV affiliates in Charlottesville are owned by just two companies, one of which owns three of the four) is going to make this a "trial of the century" with gavel-to-gavel coverage, and it's probably not big enough for someone like CourtTV to pay a lot of attention to. MAYBE they cover it to some degree just for the shock factor, but that might not even include a camera crew. In my experience around the media, they're way more likely to show up for sentencing than the actual trial. At most all we would get out of that is a shot of the back of Chris' head while an anchor says "Christine Chandler was sentenced today to death by combination electric chair and firing squad for having sex with their own mother."
If someone could make a convincing case that they are a documentary filmmaker, maybe someone could get an "independent" camera in there. Live streaming would open a whole can of worms on the technical side if we're being honest.
(Note: much like the other knowledgeable people around here, this is all based off my experience and may not be accurate in regards to Virginia's laws regarding this kind of stuff)
