While the HLN tv show "After Dark" may appeal to a certain tabloid inclined sector of society, a growing number of viewers are not only disappointed by the program as a whole, but particularly disgusted by the nightly mock jury segments that often feature debates about the alleged actions or behavior of the Victim in this case.

Have there not been enough "bold accusations" made by the perpetrator of this crime already?

The current programming regarding this particular show is insensitive, inflammatory, and reeks of a desperate attempt to garner ratings at any cost, including the credibility of HLN and reputation of many (perhaps formerly) well respected HLN employees and representatives.

Additionally, to have very experienced law enforcement, trial attorneys and/or media representatives debate the validity of claims drawn solely from the imagination of an admitted liar lends itself to the possibility that a less capable or imaginative defense could capitalize on, and benefit from, the arguments presented. In essence, a risk of
inadvertently assisting the defendant for nothing more than the sake of entertainment.

Obviously, we are aware we do not have to watch, as many have chosen not to, however for some of us it is not enough to simply turn a blind eye.
