TELEVISION - Dec. 16, 1991

Courting the Dahmer Trial: Court TV, a cable station that aired the William Kennedy Smith rape trial, said it is in negotiations to televise next month’s trial of confessed serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in Milwaukee. A Court TV spokesman said the station might black out some of the horrific details of Dahmer’s rampage in which he allegedly killed and dismembered 17 men and boys during the course of a decade. Judge Lawrence Graham, who will preside over the trial, said he will allow up to three video cameras in the courtroom. CNN has also expressed interest in airing the trial, which is scheduled to begin Jan. 27.
