Chandler v. Florida, 449 U.S. 560 (1981), was a legal case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a state could allow the broadcast and still photography coverage of criminal trials. While refraining from formally overruling Estes v. Texas, which in 1965 held that media coverage was “infringing the fundamental right to a fair trial guaranteed by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” it effectively did so.
