Videoconferencing has its day in court
This article in Washington Technology notes that the institution of videoconferencing systems in West Virginia courts has saved the state $30 million in prisoner transportation costs in its first year. This is a fine example of how we can use technology to reduce the costs for the taxpayers.

$30M? That's a nice little chunk of savings for these courts and county sheriffs. Also, it's difficult to come up with downside to this.
I just wonder how many other states do initial appearances via teleconference?
