I inadvertently re-watched part of JB's interview before finding the right one, and wow. What a difference between the two.--side by side JB before and DE after the depo... whew. (I am NOT suggesting that anyone else subject themselves to a moment more of watching JB than is absolutely necessary to keep up to date on the case, btw.) General impressions of RK/DE interviews:
1. At the beginning, when reporters are questioning RK about how it feels to be in his position, Evans actually moves out of the close-up camera shot with an apologetic eyebrow raise to the cameraman whose shot of RK he is blocking.
2. Reporter to RK: "Was it nerve-wracking going in there?" RK: "No. It's just all the pressure of everybody that brought the lies and the rumors and all that other stuff and having to try and maintain a normal life, that's not an easy thing to do...."
3. At 1:41 Kathy Belich: "Do you get an indication that they are trying still to make Mr. Kronk look like he's the murderer?"
DE: "Well, you know, for an extended period of time in this case there's been a lot of effort made to uh, to, to uh, you know, to cast aspersions on him, to throw dirt on him, to throw mud on him, and I have to honor him for, for being a guy who's been willing to turn the other cheek, and at the end of the day in this case, of anybody who's been involved in this all this mess, he's gonna be one guy who's gonna come out with his reputation intact and his dignity intact."
4. About 4:03, DE responds to Kathy B on attempts to smear RK: "...but at the end of the day, none of this stuff matters in the case of the State of Florida versus Ms. Anthony, and I think that ultimately none of this will see the light of day in a courtroom, but it's still hurtful for Roy, and it's been very challenging for him that one out of a hundred people might think that there's something to any of this... he's doing his best to hold his head up high and be dignified about it and turn the other cheek, and be a good citizen, and he's done that since day one."
5. Channel 2: "Roy, if you had to do this all over again, would you?"
RK: "Yes."
Channel 2: "You would?"
RK: "Yes."
Channel 2: "You don't have regrets even though you've been painted as a potential murder suspect?"
RK: "Doing the right thing is its own reward."
6. Not sure which reporter/channel, maybe 2: "Your first deposition, you were, all the motions were filed the same afternoon, painted as a potential murder suspect... Was this a dirty trick by the defense?"
DE: "Well, obviously it was intended to maximize the public reaction to it as opposed to dealing with it appropriately in the court of law, so if you want to call that a dirty trick I'll leave it up to others to characterize but I think it was gratuitous and unnecessary, and not in keeping with the way that normally these things would be handled in a court of law by a judge..."
Nicely done Mr. Evans and Mr. Kronk.
(Side note and I hardly want to debase this thread by mentioning it, but
did anyone else note which network asked RK did he "actually step on the bag"? Sensationalize much, sunglasses? :sick
As ever, :cow:
