The first of 12 episodes — each covering a day of the trial — appeared on YouTube on Monday.</p><p>Filmmaker John Ireland says the goal was to allow Americans to judge the constitutionality of Proposition 8, which restricted marriage to a man and a woman. Ireland and fellow filmmaker John Ainsworth oppose the ban.</p><p>The Supreme Court last month blocked a plan to have testimony in the trial uploaded to YouTube, saying it could subject supporters of Proposition 8 to harassment.</p><p>___</p><p>Information from: San Francisco Chronicle, http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=68315562&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
