Ashley Banfield, who has set her sites on this poor guy, is one of them.

She is remembered for singling out an innocent man in the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping. She and her reporters harried this poor man who was totally innocent.

Result...SLC cops arrested him, beat him, poor guy had a stroke in prison and died.

Banfield was fired, but somehow...here she is again trying to convict an innocent man.

Richard Jewell was actually one of the lucky ones. Although they put him through hell at least proof that he was 100% innocent came out before he died.

Not that anyone apologized.

I have been interested in this concept since I read "Ordeal by Innocence" as a teen. One of the throw away lines is about a (RL) mystery where there were four people singled out by the press who possibly could have done the murder (or suicide?) Possibly one of the four got away with murder but four people definitely had their lives taken away by suspicion.

A desire for justice is laudable. As long as you keep in mind that destroying the lives of the innocent in your pursuit is not justice.

Banfield was fired for that incident? I always wondered what happened to her
