The Best Crimes & Criminal Trials Commentary in Web Space.
“You can count on evil and criminal folly to entertain us or illuminate the human condition or both.”

My past commentaries on pending criminal cases have attracted about 100,000 “reads” and several hundred emails. For a sample, you might want to visit – or revisit:
The Dyleski - “Goth” Murder Case http://jaygaskill.com/Vitalehorowitzdeath.htm
The German Cannibal Case http://www.jaygaskill.com/tribgerman.htm
And
The Scott Peterson Trial http://www.jaygaskill.com/peterson.htm
Here is a sample comment--kudos from a television producer in LA.

I work for a television station in Los Angeles, and as a consequence am intimately familiar with what gets reported to viewers (as opposed to... dare I say it?...“Readers!”) these days. The insights gleamed from your most-recent posting (see far surpass anything that may be learned by turning to the so-called “Fifth Estate.”
Of course I still look back with fondness on the days when broadcast “News” was viewed by management as the “price of admission” into the extremely lucrative world of exploiting the publicly-owned airwaves -- and not the obligatory “profit center” into which it has devolved. I still warmly remember when the FCC's charge was to assure that broadcasters serve “the public use, convenience and necessity” -- although these recollections are like the gentle nostalgia one feels in recalling un-colorized movies, or freedom of speech outside “free speech zones.”
And your column DOES give me hope: Hope that there really may be a marketplace of ideas not bound by FCC license, and that a single voice in the darkness may, in fact, have power.
