I believe that there really isn't a fine line for when children should know about things like this or be exposed to it. Children of today are already exposed to violent video games. The thing is, what you cannot prevent, you must educate over it. I guess these court cases would serve to educate them instead of having unmonitored amounts of violence drilled into their heads and desensitized via video games and television. These court cases are more educational than video games. The thing is that punishment is involved in these court cases, and could serve to prime up the child and shape them in ways which they will learn that violence and the such is wrong rather than learning that causing gratuitous carnage and massive amounts of bloodshed will earn you coins or tokens. Virtual coins and tokens, that is. By yesterday's standards, yes, it might be too early for kids to learn about these things - but today, it is not because children today are already exposed to things like this. Massive amounts.
This is why I believe that there should be a line, but it's inevitable that children will discover violence. So my point of view is that there should be no age limit for when children are exposed to these kinds of court cases. They're already controlling characters that steals cars and hires prostitutes, why not legal court cases?
