In April 1998, the United Paramount Network aired a one-hour special titled Search For Justice with Fred Goldman. It featured stories of injustice and efforts for judicial reform. The special was hosted by Fred Goldman, father of murder victim Ronald Goldman.

One of the segments focused on a proposed legislation called Jenna's Law. It was designed to curtail parole for violent offenders. Jenna's Law, which was eventually signed into law in New York, was named after Jenna Grieshaber, a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered by a paroled violent felon in 1997.

When announcements were made about Search For Justice with Fred Goldman, there was talk of doing a regular series if the special performed well enough in the Nielsen ratings. Obviously, however, the viewership for the special was too small to warrant a regular TV series, since no such show ever materialized.

I saw this special when it aired. Also, I am wondering if anyone else on this board (besides me) had seen this one-time special, or even remembers it being on.

No I don't ever remember seeing that program. It sounds interesting though.

It was interesting. However, it's unfortunate that the special didn't perform well enough in the ratings to warrant a regular series, or even more specials.

Telling stories of injustice may not be popular, but if Search For Justice had become a regular TV series, I believe it would have had the potential to last between six to eight years (if not longer). I think it would have been an effective TV show.

I find it hard to stomach Walsh on AMW let alone trying to deal with the heated opinionated Goldman.

I am not saying I do not have empathy for their losses- I just prefer things from a less emotional and more objective angle.

Well, no matter how "heated" or "opinionated" he might be, Fred Goldman is right about the horrendous flaws in our judicial system. Plus, the way I see it, his outspokeness (even if it happens to be un-PC or unpopular) helps counter much of the smugness and arrogance of his son's murderer.
