For the first time at an Alberta criminal trial, a television camera will be allowed into the courtroom Thursday to record the long-awaited decision in the Travis Vader murder case. Vader is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the July 2010 deaths of seniors Lyle and Marie McCann. Media lawyer Matthew Woodley speaks to the media outside the Edmonton courthouse after winning the application to record the Travis Vader verdict. CBC Edmonton managing editor Gary Cunliffe said he was pleased with the judge's decision. That reality has made trial judges far less accepting of cameras in their courtrooms.
