I went to the trial because I had read so much about the twists and turns of the case over the years and was interested in hearing the actual evidence. I have no "horse in the race", so to speak and was expecting to hear a lot of what has been printed. I have to say that I was amazed to see the reporter from the News Dispatch happily chatting with the defendant's family and friends during the breaks. After hearing the evidence, I can only conclude that the news reporting is HEAVILY biased, for whatever reason. The paper entirely ignores any of the evidence that was damaging to the defendant and to which he admitted during the police interview that they played, such as the fact that he had possession of the gun the entire time and said that his wife was "not getting out of the closet" or the bizarre recorded 911 call where the operator thinks he was the one shot (I think he actually chuckled at one point). I felt bad for his kids who testified on his behalf but the news coverage is what is very disturbing to me. A small community relies on the press for accurate reporting (particularly of local news) and this makes me think that everything I've read in the paper over the years has been written with an agenda in mind and is not the whole story. If anyone knows any of the jurors or an unbiased person who heard the evidence, I urge you to ask them about it and confirm everything I've written for yourself. It's really sad to see the state of journalism today. It's seems to be all about manipulating opinion.
