ABC Exploiting Victim’s Family

Posted by: admin

Just as one begins to forget that the mainstream media has no shame, ABC News comes to the rescue… According to this Washington Times article:

Cheryll Witz was in the Costco store in Tucson, Ariz., shopping for a birthday cake when her cell phone rang.

Waiting to speak to her was one of the nation’s most notorious serial killers — the man who five years earlier had killed her father.

“I need to apologize for what I’ve done to you and your family,” Lee Boyd Malvo told her during the Sept. 20 call.

Miss Witz stood, stunned, in the shopping aisle.

“I was standing in the Costco bawling my eyes out,” she said.

In March 2002, Malvo fatally shot Miss Witz’s father, Jerry Taylor, as he practiced chip shots on a golf course practice green in Arizona. Mr. Taylor’s slaying was a precursor to the killing spree that terrorized the D.C. area seven months later.

The call was placed through a third party – an ABC news producer, who violated prison policy in establishing a three-way conference call between Malvo and the victim’s daughter.

Apparently, ABC News will go to any length to obtain a sensational story – even if that means breaking the law, and violating public decency. Way to go ABC!
