Left for Garbage

haven’t been able to do that, since the entire defense team is, as of this report, over at a bar called Bottoms Up, celebrating their win. I’m being told that champagne has been ordered and that -

    Charlotte:
    Bambi, are you saying … are you telling me … that Salvatore Gutierrez and company are drinking champagne and celebrating their victory?

    Bambi Isles, KORL 15 News:
    Yes , Charlotte, like I said, they are at -

    Charlotte:
    At a bar called Bottoms Up, yes , I heard you. Well, there you have it, America. Tonight a baby is dead, the woman accused of killing her has been found innocent, and her defense team parties it up. Maybe they will go somewhere else later and watch a hot booty contest while they are at it. I cannot help but feel that this is inappropriate behavior when we all consider that a child is dead, a beautiful innocent child. I do not feel that this verdict reflects the true opinions of Americans in general. Bambi, are there still crowds outside the courthouse, even at this hour?

    Bambi Isles, KORL 15 News:
    Oh yes , Charlotte, there are still hundreds of people, as you can see, behind me. I don’t know if your audience can hear them all that well, but they are all chanting ‘Death to Denise’. The mood here is -

    Charlotte:
    I think the word you are searching for , Bambi, is ‘shocked’, the mood is shocked, and -

    Bambi Isles, KORL 15 News:
    Actually , Charlotte, what I was going to say is that the mood seems to be one of murderous violence. In fact, I don’t think the use of the phrase ‘mob violence’ would be too strong. I have a report that a SWAT team is on the way and that -

    Charlotte:
    Bambi , I do not like being interrupted, dear, but thank you for sharing your opinion anyway. I’m sure, however, that what you are seeing is merely a group of fellow Americans who are expressing their grief over what they perceive, rightly or wrongly, as a grave injustice to a dead baby girl, as do we all. I want to thank you, Bambi, for your report tonight, and now let’s take some calls. Krista in Cincinnati, you’re on ‘Eye on America’. What’s your question, my dear?

    Krista in Cincinnati:
    Hello , Charlotte. Thank you for taking my call. I’m just sick tonight, Charlotte. I can’t stop crying.

    Charlotte:
    Yes , dear, I must admit as a mother, and as one who upholds justice for those who cannot speak for themselves, I feel like crying myself, but what is your question, Krista?

    Krista in Cincinnati:
    Charlotte, I don’t even know if I really have a question , I mean, besides why … how … could this happen? It’s exactly like you said, this doesn’t reflect the way most people feel. I guess if I have a question, it’s what’s wrong with those people on the jury? This is worse than O.J!

    Charlotte:
    Krista , dear, I fear you are right, it is even worse than O.J., but as to your question about the jurors, not having prosecuted this case, I do not want to Monday-morning-quarterback what should have been done or shouldn’t have been done. Juries are fickle and strange bodies. I suppose maybe we should ask them ourselves, and all of my viewers can begin to do so at the end of this show because my producer, Janet, has kindly posted their names and addresses on my website. Thank you for your call and your insight, dear. Let’s take a call from Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois. Good evening. Roberto. You’re on ‘Eye on America’. What’s your question, Sir?

    Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois:
    Hi , Charlotte. You look real pretty when you are upset like this.

    Charlotte:
    Thank you , Roberto. Do you have a question or comment about the Brown verdict?

    Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois:
    Yes.

    Charlotte:
    We’re all waiting, Roberto, to hear your question.

    Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois:
    Okay , I’ll ask it, then.

    Charlotte:
    Yes?

    Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois:
    Well , I have a comment too.

    Charlotte:
    Oh , for the love of … Okay, Roberto, would you like to either ask your question or make your comment, or you are also welcome to hang up as it’s been a long day and I think we would all like to go home now.

    Roberto in Beardstown, Illinois:
    Okay , Charlotte, calm down. I’ll just make my comment first, then fine … What I want to say is this: I’ve been on top of this case from the beginning and I know a lot of people will be mad at me but I agree with the jury. Denise Brown is innocent. Dick Cheney murdered Baby Deeley and set it up to look
