Edinburgh - Former nanny Louise Woodward has warned that Britain is heading towards the sort of American-style television trials which shot her to notoriety.
The 20-year-old from Cheshire, whose trial for the murder of eight-month-old Matthew Eappen became one of the most-watched TV spectacles ever, said she believed the arrival of cameras in British courtrooms was inevitable.
She told 900 television executives at the Guardian International Television Festival in Edinburgh that cameras in the courtroom threatened to turn trials into "soap operas".
