a criminal suspect. The presence of audience
in the courtroom can bring advantages to the suspects as well as disadvantages to them. I will examine both view in below

public
can bring some advantages. First, transparency.
because
the process
is guided by the public, all applicant's and defendent
's plea and evidences

including judge and prosecutor's appeal, and conclude whether the verdict is arbitrary or not . Next, it can ensure the law enforcement are doing prudent
job. Since the hearing will be heard by people, any wrongdoing can be noted and reported later.However, there are also some dark
side
on
this methode

process
is a sign of democratic era, where transparency and fairness are paramount. However, it also has some drawbacks
such as promoting criminality and expossing
the victims.
