Ketchikan, Alaska - Court TV announced today that Court TV Extra, their online service that brings subscribers multiple live video feeds from courtrooms across the country, will stream the first degree murder trial of Rachelle Waterman, 16, live from the Diamond Courthouse in Juneau, AK.

Waterman from Craig, Alaska is alleged to have conspired in the murder of her mother Lauri, 48. According to the announcement, the trial is scheduled to begin tomorrow on the network's web-based service and can be accessed on Court TV's website at www.courttv.com/extra.

Rachelle Waterman's alleged co-conspirators were two former boyfriends, Jason Arrant and Brian Radel. Rachelle Waterman often discussed her dislike of her mother on her Internet blog, "My Crappy Life, the Inside Look of an Insane Person." Although Arrant and Radel are expected to testify that Waterman asked them to murder her mother, Waterman has pleaded not guilty.

Court TV Extra costs $5.95 per month, and is available to new users for a free trial period of 30 days.

Court TV News is taping the trial to air at a later date.
