| | Show trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term show trial describes a type of public trial in which the judicial authorities have already determined the guilt of the defendant: the actual trial has as its only goal to present the accusation and the verdict to the public as an impressive example and as a warning. | | | Such trials can exhibit scant regard for the niceties of jurisprudence and even for the letter of the law. | | | Secret trial: A trial not open to the public. |

| | Showtime show trial: |
| | The stated aim of the show was to restore the rights of Oswald to a trial, and of the American people to see justice done. | | | I suppose that was like a real trial, and it certainly kept the proceedings from dragging, but in many cases this limited the opportunity to judge the demeanor of the witness. | | | But, as with my limited real-life trial experience, my strongest opinion was that at least one of the lawyers should be locked up. |

| | The Show Trial of Abdullah Ocalan in Turkey What lies behind the behaviour of the PKK leader? |
| | The show trial of Abdullah “Apo” Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), which began on May 31 in front of a Turkish state security court, is assuming increasingly repulsive and bizarre forms. | | | The news coverage of the trial is limited. | | | It goes without saying that, under circumstances where the Turkish parliament is dominated by raging chauvinism and the fascists of the Grey Wolves (MHP), any meaningful democratic reforms or compromises by the state on the Kurdish question are more remote than ever. |
