Nets Cover Simpson Hearing

By Chris Ariens 

Because I was busy learning about RSS feeds, internet law and blogging for dollars at the Blog World Expo in Las Vegas, I nearly forgot about day one of the O.J. Simpson hearing. So I stopped at the courthouse this morning as network correspondents lined up to cover day two.

FNC’s Adam Housley, NBC’s Michael Okwu, CNN’s Dan Simon and CBS’ Manuel Gallegus are among the network correspondents covering the hearing. CourtTV (soon to be truTV) has a make-shift set to cover the proceedings.

The correspondents are lined up along a half-block stretch of a closed-down Clark Ave. The live shot location is just steps from where Simpson, the witnesses, and lawyers enter and exit the courthouse.

The buzz outside the courthouse this morning came mostly from producers staying in contact with assignment desks and control rooms in New York and Atlanta. The circus atmosphere that accompanied Simpson’s first appearance has mostly subsided with only a few characters milling around this morning.
