Thank you. I had a hunch this was going to be replayed. Will it be on MSNBC or NBC?
"An American Tragedy
MSNBC re-airs "Speaking for Laci," Katie Couric's interview with Laci Peterson's family.
Saturday, June 14, 10 p.m. ET.
Speaking to those who did not see last nights program on Datelline...I must say, I am not enthralled with Katie Couric. Don't know why, but I am not. However, she did do a good show last night. I am very surprised at how it was produced and directed. It was done very well. Great music, alot of footage of Laci growing up, via video's. It was like a very well produced Documentary.
You were really given an introduction to the Rocha family, and were given alot of insight into Laci. Sharon beamed talking of her. Since Laci was 2 yrs. old when her parents divorced, I think her step father must have been a great dad to her from how he talked. There was laughter as they talked about Laci and the things she would do. Her persistent chatter box mouth! The music in the background added to the drama. I can't remember seeing a documentary done like this one. They did this mostly before the interview, but mixed with the interview, they had talk about her.
I must give kudos to Couric for a sensitive interview. Sharon Rocha and her husband are people you feel akin to and comfortable with.
Having said that....I can't remember having a case in the public eye like this one, that has given rise to putting on a production such as this one. I am not enamored with the media on this, and feel it is over kill to a great degree, and have resorted like some of you , not to engolf my day with it. But I know when the Prelim starts, I will be there.
One thing is for sure, the media has power over and above our imagination. But this time, the Dateline program did a FINE JOB, and you should by all means try to watch the repeat. It is worth it, if for nothing else, to try to imagine the depth of grief that has to be endured with the whole country able to watch you as you crumble inside.
God give both families the strength to endure all of it.
