And judges in North Carolina routinelyconvict defendants for robbery, despite the fact that there is no statute
defining robbery as a criminal offense.[footnote]
I came in this topic just to share a random (but IMO interesting) thing I know about Alaska’s laws:
Electronic recording in courtrooms is legal there (since the 60s!- who but Zapruder even had a camcorder then?*), and they’ve had cameras installed in courtrooms there since the 1980s- OKAY CORRECTION EDIT: I chatted with Copilot just now, and apparently officially-installed security cameras in courtrooms are not that much of a thing in Alaska, they exist in certain courtrooms but probably not most and definitely not all. I’m disappointed.
*Yes I know that regular cameras also count as electronic recording, which were available widely then, it’s a joke
