Judge bars cameras from courtroom hearing KPIC

EUGENE, Ore. -- Arbiter Jack Billings denied requests from both KVAL TV and The On-Guard newspaper to bring a camera into the courtroom to submerge Tuesday's sentencing of Matthew Ellmers, who pleaded sheepish to driving drunk and causing a crash that killed four people and left-hand a boy seriously injured.

Judge Mary Ann Bearden had allowed cameras in the courtroom for an earlier hearing in the patient.

"Those victims who wish to address the media can do so case the courtroom," Billings wrote in a letter to Denae D'Arcy of KVAL TV and Rob Romig of The Betray-Guard. "The public's 'right to know' will be adequately covered by any media representatives in the audience fetching notes in the usual manner."

Judge: TV camera "a honestly intimidating device" 

In the letter to KVAL and The Listing-Guard, Billings said the defendant Ellmers, through instruction, opposed having a camera in the courtroom.

District Attorney Alex Gardner favored having a camera emcee. However, some, but not all, of the family members who planned to testify told prosecutors they would incline towards not to have a camera present.
