Most court coverage concentrates on the criminal courts. In these courts, in the sometimes lengthy process that begins with arrest and ends with a jury verdict and sentence can be found the drama, excitement and suspense of a four-star movie or play. Reporters are given front-row seats, and in return the public expects stories that reflect the tension of the proceedings.
Oba Chandler is taken to the Pinellas County jail where he is to be held overnight. The next morning the charge of murder was read to him and a bail of $1 million was set. Chandler is suspected of murdering a woman and her two daughters aboard his boat in Florida Bay and then dumping their chained bodies into the water.
