The judicial investigation into the Ko Wen-je case has raised public concerns regarding its transparency, impacting the credibility of the judiciary. Regarding the discussion on whether the court should be live-streamed, Zheng Wen-long, chairman of the Taiwan Jury Association, pointed out that this issue was addressed as early as the 2017 national conference on judicial reform. However, it became a contentious topic only when a member of the opposition party brought it up.

Netizens cited the U.S. Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, specifically Rule 53, which states that while broadcasting judicial processes is typically prohibited, exceptions exist. For instance, cases deemed in the public interest can request live streaming. This regulation challenges the arguments against legal streaming.

Furthermore, Zheng stated that countries like South Africa and Indonesia have implemented court live streaming for years, urging that Taiwan should not lag behind. As the push for court live streaming progresses, society should become more open and keep up with global trends.
