It was kind of interesting because there was lots of info on that case that was not on the UM segment. It actually made T.K. look more negative in the City Confidential segment than in the UM segment. I mean T.K. didnt deserve what happened but in some ways I think he was asking for it with his cut throat style of business.

Well, I think that was very typical for UM. Apparently, the show tended to be more concerned with resolving a murder case than the overall character of the murder victim, which was very wise of them. Portraying a murder victim too negatively would have been counterproductive in more ways than one. Rightly or wrongly, the UM viewers would likely have seen it as a credibility conflict. I mean, one cannot support efforts to catch criminals, and then degrade crime victims. You can't have it both ways.

I also didnt know that Mooney was nearly paroled in 2002. It was only after the DA's office and the parole board got flooded with calls that Mooney's parole was stopped. However I do think Mooney will get paroled eventually. It is interesting though there is still a relatively large chunk of people in Athens that think Mooney is innocent and was rail roaded.

Hmm. I wonder if anyone in Hollywood feels the same way.
