Tracy on www.kabc.com - McIntryre In The Morning

[CCADP]

In the next half hour.
In LA; ABC affiliate. I'm not familiar with this program so I am not sure if its a serious new show or a shockjock type attack show. (like KFI out of LA's treatment of the issue the other day. The death of Laci and Connor and the conviction of Scott Peterson and the media circus surrouding the whole issue is not a laughing matter. A jocular treatment of the issue is an insult to the victims in the case far more than it is to the CCADP.

I nailed their host on the media profiting (not us) from the deaths of Laci and Connor; etcetc it was great.

They had to cut my mike after I got the host to agree that as a first amendment issue he shoud have this forum he didn't want to say it but i got him too...then I said; "so we are providing the forum - whats the argument?" and he started saying wasn't i mad that Scott had an affair on his pregnant wife..? I said "I didn't realize this was the Jerry Springer show. I deal with legal issues; and that relates to the legal issue only in that is what will prob get him a new trial if the case issues are actually fairly dealt with on appeal etc...see below..

My email to the producer a moment after the show :

As always "feel free to cut my mike when we make a valid point that cant be countered." Your host agreed he should have this forum. When I countered that we are simply provided the forum; and so he could not get me on guilt or innocence; a position we do not take other than to talk about the general issues in the death penalty system; he cuts the mike.
Thats fine; we actually told all our members and posted it ahead of time that it will probably be sensationalistic like KFI was the other day.
Don't worry; we'd be glad to come on again regardless; to make your hosts look silly as they agree that this forum should be provided and have to fall back on 'aren't you mad that he had an affair..." ..I didn't know I was booked on Springer...
Feel free to book us again. Its too bad it couldn't have been with a host that could have challenged our (what you KNOW are well made arguments) instead of turning into Jerry! Jerry !

Good for you Tracy! Nice one!

Here's a round of applause!



These hosts certainly have an agenda. So much for free speech huh!

OMG, he's guilty because he cheated on his wife? He shouldn't supported because he cheated on his wife?

(This is going to sound very cold, but it's too the point. If there is a better way to say this staying to the point, let me know and I'll modify this.)

I seriously doubt Laci is the only woman murdered whose husband cheated on them. That doesn't all their husbands murdered them!
