The Day the Media and Other Vultures Lost Millions of Dollars – MB #323

JUNE 13 2007 – Where were you two years ago today? If you don’t really remember, you were not paying any attention to the news at the time.

Two years ago, a conservative, non-black jury in Santa Maria California effectively snatched hundreds of millions – if not a billion – dollars from the collective media by following the evidence, instead of public opinion.

Mesereau talks about Paris Hilton Case Saturday, 09 June 2007 (whisperDISPATCH) – Attorney Thomas Mesereau appeared on Anderson 360 June 8 2007 to give his take on the Paris Hilton case. Mesereau called the entire situation a disgrace and thinks the judge violated procedure. Mesereau, like a very many number of observers who don’t outright hate Hilton, said Hilton is being treated unfairly. “…This judge undermined our sheriff and actually treated Paris Hilton far worse than anyone else would have been treated in this situation,” Mesereau said. The lawyer says people who commit low-level misdemeanors like the one Paris Hilton admitted to only spend “a few days in jail”.
