*Sigh*

I don't know what's most disturbing about the CBS Real Crime documentary I've just finished captioning. Could it be that during the murder trial in question...
  1. Television cameras were allowed inside the courtroom?
  2. The defence beseeched the jury not to accept the testimony of 'a crazy woman'?
  3. The prosecution's tack seemed to be to make the jury LAUGH?
  4. CBS interviewed the defendants/solicitors WHILE THE TRIAL WAS GOING ON?
  5. The smarmy interviewer seemed to believe he was invested with the supreme talent to make people confess to things they'd already sworn not to having done in a court of law?
  6. The daughters of the woman convicted were, after sentence had been passed, allowed in court to read a scathing letter of retribution directed at their mother?
Or perhaps it was the heartwarming reminder that the death penalty is still applicable in Texan courts of law. God bless America. Honestly, I don't see WHAT community service it does to allow this sort of shash to be broadcast - and I'm sure CBS weren't so advanced as to have been taking the piss out of themselves.
