The networks also have YouTube channels where the livestream of their coverage of the trial can be accessed. Most local television and newspaper sites will also have livestreams on their websites. Go to the TV or newspaper homesite and look for a link.

The session on Saturday is expected to last about three hours, from 10 a.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET.
