I asked the "prosecutor," and he said:

No transcripts, but we videotape the trials and put them on the web. See this link for the John Brown trial of a few years ago.

Click on "Trial Video"

The Quantrill trial will up fairly soon.

...

I will add that a transcript is unlikely, given that these theatrical trials are unrehearsed and unscripted. So since they aren't speaking from a script, it would take a lot of extra effort/time/money to produce a transcript, whereas recording and posting is not as time-intensive.
