That depends on what you mean by "didn't go so well". Did you expect KB to win a conviction single-handedly?
I'm simply talking about a real journalist who will go after the facts, and strive for accuracy in reporting - not another mouthpiece for DB and JI.
She was great in getting the information first hand in a State that has the Sunshine Law and covering the case based on court documents from LE and prosecution stand point. Unfortunately, it gives one side of the story and the media and the public will interpret it the way they want. (BTW....I think CA is guilty of murder and just trying to prove a point that this type of reporting can backfire). Who would've thought the "accidental drowning" theory would convince 12 jurors? Right? It can't/won't happen in this case because there is no Sunshine Law in MO so Kathi, although good at what she does, will have minimal information same as the others. Her reporting won't go here nor there. The facts in the case will only come out at trial if it gets to that point. LE is keeping a lot of it close to their vests and whatever is leaked only calls for speculation.
An unbiased reporter will look at both sides not just one side and I haven't seen that in this case yet. Based on what I've seen as coverage of this case, clearly it's become finger pointing at the parents without real evidence to back it up. Take the cell phone call as an example. We have no idea why MW got that phone call but yet the media and the public have already concluded that it is somehow connected to one of the parents. Some have even gone as far as DB or JI placing that phone call to dispose of Lisa's body and/or other theories. In fact, we have no idea if that phone call originated from because we have nothing. We do not know where it pinged from. We do not know if it was answered or not, etc etc.
I'm usually very suspicious of the family in a missing child case and tend to rush to judge but after a few cases where I thought the parent was involved and it turned out they were not, I've decided that unless there is REAL hard evidence that points to the parents, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
I have not seen anything in this case yet to make me fall off the fence. The test results or an arrest may make me change my mind but until then, I will continue to believe they are not involved.
