4th Circuit Court of Appeals reviews ACLU's challenge to South Carolina's death row inmate recording policy.

The ACLU argues the policy violates its First Amendment rights and is overly broad. The state claims it protects crime victims and security, while the case is now before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for resolution.
