Rutten: Get TV out of trials

Tim Rutten's Regarding Media column in the L.A. Times blames the Laci Peterson frenzy on the hunger of the cable networks for summer programming, and opens with a good line: "Summertime, and the livin' is sleazy." He goes on to make a case that cameras -- providing the pictures that TV uses to hype the Peterson story -- should be removed from courtrooms.
