The original statement was that everybody should see it. The regular person isn't going to understand anything and then take everything out of context when they decide to be a moron and bitch on Twitter.

Fortunately, that's a pretty meaningless consequence, meaning it doesn't offset the added logistical costs of identifying every person in the world who's sufficiently legally competent to understand it and sending them a recording of the trial (a process which is itself extremely prone to corruption and political bias because of how subjective that assessment is) compared to simply publicly broadcasting it.

Bear in mind that your line of reasoning means you should also be arguing against the publication of scientific research. After all, most people are going to be too stupid to understand it, so why not instead feed it all through a single governing body that decides which science the public should and should not be allowed to learn about?
