1. Ideology (promotion of a culture of deference to the authority of liberal courts, simplistic attitudes toward crime, etc.).

2. Distraction.

3. Commodification.

I watch TV so little I didn't even know court trials and things like cops were still aired... I don't really care about TV, and Brad and the other people who posted raised good points

I don't understand, are you talking about those cruddy reality TV show "court rooms" or cases that get sensationalized and media circuses like Casey Anthony, OJ, Jodi Arias, etc.?

In either case it's not some insidious conspiracy to lull people into complacency, media is a business and they'll do anything for ratings. Yeah, it could be seen as breads and circuses but it's that's a consequence of how this society is built around a capitalist base.
