The Britney Higgins fiasco is a very good case study in demonstrating why justice should take place in the courts and not in the media.

Now there are lawsuits flying around everywhere left right and centre. If there was a case to answer, the trial would have gone a lot more smoothly beyond the glare of the media spotlight. But doing a tell all interview on national TV is the best way to ruin that.

I honestly don't feel like I have enough information to have an opinion about guilt or no guilt.

But I felt weird when she signed a book deal for a large amount of money before the trial.

It doesn't sway me one way or the other, but I didn't think it was a good idea.

Agreed, very poor judgement.
