he will be sentenced for the first time on television Old Bailey.
Judge Sarah Munro, QC, makes legal history on Thursday when she convicted Ben Oliver of murdering his grandfather.
The images will be broadcast on news channels and made available online via Sky News, BBCITN and the PA news agency.
The move to allow cameras in the Crown Court follows a law change in 2020, but implementation was delayed by the pandemic.
It will open up some of the most high-profile courts and allow the public to see and hear judges explaining the reasoning behind their sentences.
Only the judge is filmed to protect the privacy of victims, witnesses and jurors.
Lord Chancellor and Minister of Justice Dominic Raab said: “Opening up the courtroom to cameras to film the sentencing of some of the country’s most serious offenders will improve transparency and boost confidence in the justice system.
“The public will now be able to see how justice is delivered, helping them better understand the complex decisions judges make.”
The Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, Lord Burnett of Maldon, said the move was “very positive” in promoting open justice.
He said: “I think it’s an exciting development because it will help the public understand how and why criminals get the sentences they get in these very high-profile cases.”
“The conviction of serious criminal cases is something in which there is a legitimate public interest.
“And it always seemed to me that this is part of the criminal process, which in many cases can be taped and broadcast, but not all, without jeopardizing the administration of justice or the interests of justice.”
The Central Criminal Court in London routinely hears some of the most complex cases, including murders and terrorism trials.
Oliver’s sentencing will take place from 10am in Court Two, one of Old Bailey’s oldest courtrooms.
The 25-year-old defendant from Bexleyheath, south London, admitted to the manslaughter of 74-year-old David Oliver, in Mottingham, south London, on January 19 last year.
Oliver is said to have an autism spectrum disorder which, when combined with other emotional and mental factors, reduced his responsibility for the murder.
Broadcasters praised cameras in Kroonhoven as a “monumental moment for open justice” and a “victory for the viewer”.
