Lol. I hope they are right.
I have to share something with all of you. T.V., well cable now, are contacting any and all lawyers, prosecutors, defendants, and victims, they can for any kind of murder case. Depends on motive and title of show. (I have worked in criminal defense offices for over 20 years). They want anything they can turn into a show. Right now Investigative Discovery? M2? and Paula Zhan are going over board with basic interviews on this coast. (I don't have cable, I just field the crap, I am not certain of the show names, they call and say they are from whatever I never heard of.) Radio tries, but sadly no one appreciates anymore.
At any rate, the lawyers cannot say much, as you with cable will see. These are past cases, btw. They cannot say anything, even with the signed release from the victim/defendant, legal ease gets in the way.
The show, be it radio or televised, will be mostly fill in baloney by whomever is the main voice/reporter.
If there are many/many killing on LI, and leaving the dead, or if they are from whichever leftover SK, I'll eat my hat!
Sensationalism! The cases I have seen in the media were so outrageously sensationalized it is insane. One word, yes or no, after a question that is blurred by the reporter/asker, a half nod trying to understand, a half frown or smile, becomes a front page story.
This is why we have the idea of not having a jury selected in an immediate area. That too will change, once law catches up with technology.
ETA: I lost my point, too busy reading. The point is, reporters already have a story in mind. Can be from one word from a random thought, not a source, a THOUGHT, and if they get a sleep, they are going by this, they are overly stimulated and you, that have the facts see this. Reporter: "I have no idea what you are running by me 5 million miles fast in one sentence over caffeinated" A nod, or frown, that is a story. No confirmation, no words exchanged, just the reporter's own imagination, just to keep front page, and just to keep their job. IE. They ask a question really fast, they look at you (you said nothing but shook your head in not understanding, they write the front page story.) Be it full of unbelievable made up crap or not, they write it. No words exchanged. If words were exchanged, they leave a lot out, they CLIP it, for the selling idea in their head, or from the media outlet they work for, boss.
