When Geraldo went on Charles Groden it was just after the Micheal Jackson charges were beginning to be investigated. Geraldo had been the only one who made a plea to News People to stop making allegations against people before a conviction. He had sounded like a crusader to stop the exploitation of a rich person because someone comes out of no where and makes an allegation. He even suggested that the English way of not giving trial converage was better because indictments came before the names of the accused came out. Anyway, I tuned into Geraldo because I thought because of his appearing to stick his neck out for Michael Jackson that he'd be open and honest about O.J. Simpson and I am sure I am not the only one who believed this. Then one day soon after the O.J. trial began, Geraldo ran over to the Grodin Set to spend an hour to speak with Grodin about the case. The way they spoke about it there was blood dripping from the walls at Rockingham. There was blood all over the driveway and Bronco. I have to admit I wondered a lot about how long this was planned. They had two people like Geraldo and Grodin in place on CNBC. NBC had Ira Reiner who took over the McMartin case and saw how they made a mountain out of a molehill and destroy lives and he was supposed to clean it up yet it was Geraldo who made the retrials happen on the hung counts against Raymond Buckey. Something is very wrong with the way the entire media began this case. It was as if someone told them to pretend they were yellow journalists for this case alone. Like an experiment.
