The easiest way might be to treat it as if you are writing that TV footage as a standalone script, with each cut as a separate scene, then add the extra identifiers and camera directions when you embed it into the larger script.

For the courtroom scene, depending on how you've formatted the rest, I'm guessing something like:

COURTROOM INTERIOR

Muted footage of lawyer speaking.

Anchor (voiceover): The prosecution asserted...

-cut-

Muted footage of lawyer speaking.

Anchor (voiceover): The defence argued...

-cut-

Muted footage of judge speaking.

Anchor (voiceover): The judge ruled....

-cut-
