sensation and hunger for soap opera that takes relatively unknown people -- the lacy peterson case, nataleeow casey anthony -- and turns it into the spectacle that i feel is kind of merchandising tragedy. >> let me ask both of you. jeff, let me start with you. do you think the coverage affected the outcome? did the jurors aware that there was a camera in the courtroom, even though they were sequestered, did the jurors' behavior somehow get affected through some feedback loop by the nature of the coverage even though supposedly they were not witness to it or didn't hear it? >> i think not. i don't know for sure because i haven't spoke on the jurors. but most of the coverage has been very hostile to casey anthony, and they wound up acquitting her. i think where the influence may have been is in the prosecution's decision to make this a death penalty case, which always seemed like a wrong decision to me, given the strength of the evidence, given the absence of a cause of death, a time of death, to make this a death penalty case sounded to me like the prosecutors had been spending too much time
