[Imc-newsroom] a scoop for the IMC newshour? (fwd)

[Paul Kotheimer]

hi all

if nobody else is doing audio on the arrest of Lori Serb, i can try and
get a mic into the courtroom.

has anybody brought audio gear into a Champaign County courtroom before?
does the constable stop you?  are there rules about this??

please let me know if you have information on such topics....

thanks,

paulkotheimer:)
