Siegler Video is Up

I finally got the video of Kelly Siegler and Mur­ray Newman’s appear­ance on Rea­son­able Doubt up and run­ning. It’s not as high-res as I would like, but it’s watchable.

Now stop bug­ging me.

    Y’all talk funny.

    I like this idea, btw. Is this your innovation?

  2. Mark Bennett says:

    No, it was invented by John Logie Baird in the 1920s.

  3. Gideon says:

    Hah. That’s not what I meant to say. I don’t know why I used the word innovation.

    This tv seg­ment — weekly inter­view series — how long has that gone on in your county?

  4. pro.victims says:

    Hun­dreds of years. Well, for a time, we didn’t have the use of t.v., but now, we use firearms on the seg­ment less. It’s the new west these days.

    Rea­son­able Doubt has been on the air for about 10 years, I think, with a suc­ces­sion of hosts. This was the first show with pros­e­cu­to­r­ial guests and, as pro.v notes, no gunplay.

    Thanks for pro­vid­ing the link!

    NOW can you tell me what a “pre-trial diver­sion” is?

  7. Mark Bennett says:

    gideon, I asked Dan Ger­son, the orig­i­na­tor of Rea­son­able Doubt; the show was started in ’99 by him and Adam Moskowitz before Adam moved off to Den­ver and started sell­ing insurance.

    txgoodie,

    Pre­trial diver­sion is a pro­ce­dure by which a per­son accused of a crime can, with the government’s agree­ment, avoid fur­ther pros­e­cu­tion by com­plet­ing cer­tain probation-like con­di­tions. It’s bet­ter than deferred adju­di­ca­tion because it is not a for­mal pro­ba­tion, and can there­fore be expunged.

  8. TxGoodie says:

    Thanks for the def­i­n­i­tion. I’m think­ing they’ve never used that term on Law and Order (smile) so it was new to me and that makes it the some­thing new I learned today! Yea!
