Yes, on the shows they just jump right to it.  It is more to it.  Yes, in real life the process can be very, very long.  In TV, they make it seems simple, but it's definitely not.  In reality, it can be hard to get a testimony out of someone.  You rarely get an audience in real life and blurting out in real life trial issues.  However, there have been times where this do happen in real life.  I have seen some trial process going on, and before the verdict is read, someone from the audience attacked the suspect and the whole courtroom go into hoots over the issue now.  Good points.
