MSNBC should have a legal show

I am very disapointed that MSNBC devotes 4 hours a day to broadcasting crockumentaries and I really think they need to add a legal show to their lineup. They used to have two, Dan Abrams and Rita Cosby... but now they have zero. Dan's new show used to do a tiny bit of legal reporting at the end but they've since dropped that in favor of more election coverage.

I honestly believe people are gonna get so sick of this election because the media is driving it into the ground that they will not want to vote.

I'd like to see at least one legal show fill up one of those empty timeslots. They look like a very un-credible news organization if they don't cover all the genres of journalism.

I think Catherine Crier would be a good host. She used to work at Court TV before they fired her. She's filled in for Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough before on MSNBC.

I also think Susan Filan, Wendy Murphy, or Diane Dimond would make excellent hosts.

I also think CNN needs one. They could put it on at 11, considering they just re-air Cooper's show.

Lisa Stebic: No charges, no prosecution, no conviction... yet

Susan, thankyou for bringing some very much needed attention to this case. I am very upset the media hasn't been covering this case like they should be. And unfortunately, I think this is just another fine example of authorities dragging their feat, being lazy, and letting the evidence come to them instead of getting out there in the thick of it, in the mud and getting the evidence themselves. A lot of time has passed and they have done nothing.

I do not care if they have no body. Proseuctors win convictions everyday in courtrooms all across this country without a body. Will it be an uphill battle? You bet! Will it be really tough on the prosecutors? Absolutely. But they are public servants who swore to protect the public and we cannot afford to have Lisa's killer on the streets one moment longer. We cannot afford allowing him to strike agian. We owe it to his next victim to get him off the streets now.

The Celebrity Factor

You know... you have a good point and I wanted to believe that. But just think about how lady justice was tricked in the Robert Blake case. I was sure the jury could care less about Beretta and wouldn't know Robert Blake from the moon. But I had to eat crow on that because the jury proved to be starstruck.

Just because these celebrities are not "on the scene" like an OJ or Michael Jackson does not mean that they are still not celebrities. It does not mean that the judges don't still give them celebrity treatment in their rulings. And its starstriking to the jury because of who they are, the people they bring into the courtroom, and the people they associate themselves with.

Just think of all the great singers Court TV had on during the trial that testifed to Phil Spector's character (and why Court TV is bringing that in during a criminal trial makes no sense to me)... but don't tell me that the juries don't go home and watch the television coverage of the cases and read the newspapers.

Even if they had not known Phil Spector before, they quickly learned... theres a celebrity in the courtroom!

From what my sources told me, 11 of the 12 prevailed in the jury room to hand down the right verdict. At one point it was 11 to 1 to convict, at another point it was 10 to 1 to convict, according to my sources.

But from my analysis of the case, it was really this one hold out who was really strong and just refused to look at the evidence. He was starstruck. He just could not vote Guilty.

So, the reality is that juries are starstruck. We've seen it time and time agian... even in places where we think it won't be a problem like Robert Blake.

Its THE program about JUSTICE!

A great tool we have in fighting this crime war is the power of television and Greta's show does an amazing job of that each night.
