Lively Case Discussion #538 10/26 - 10/29/2005

[BTgirl]

Dana, this is the first time I have crossed paths with you on the forum! I appreciate all you have done.

I have my reservations about Greta, make no mistake about that. I have reasons to doubt the purity of her dedication to the family and I think others feel the same way. I would love to be proven wrong about that but I don't think it will happen.

I do have some fear that mainstream media has put the case on a back burner and I'm glad to see any mention of AT ALL at this point.

Yes me too, Im just saying I dont trust Fox News' intention for the show today.
Put it on in primetime, Greta is always saying in her dopy Great wire thing that there is nothing new to report in the Holloway case. Well I think there is, you see it every day at www.scaredmonkeys.com
They can devote primetime coverage to what John Mark Karr is eating on a airplane, then they can devote primetime coverage to the Holloway case, talk about the sloppy investigation, coverup, tourism impact etc.

I make some people angry every time I bring this up, but I think Greta lost her journalistic professionalism and integrity when she interviewed Joran. She came across to me as someone who developed a crush on him during the interview, and that seemed to be the only reason she was "inclined to believe him."

[LilPuma]

I personally don't see media coverage as necessarily "bad", IF it is handled right.

I agree. Never know who is going to flip the channel into Greta's show and get interested in the case.  Never know if seeing this recap will stimulate someone to provide new leads or refute any misinformation.

Then air the show in prime time during the week, not on a Sunday afternoon where viewership is poor at best.
Remember the last time Great discussed the case she said she believed Joran, and sarcasticly said she and Tacopina and JQK should go to Aruba and solve the case. I know she meant it as a joke, but I lost a great deal of respect for her after that.

I'd suggest you and Bo.

I never considered that as an interview, more of a discussion. Her "I tend to believe him statement" Was just unprofessional.

I agree...She seemed "awe-struck"
And didn't ask follow-up questions.

I'm looking forward to hearing what Koch has to say tonight.  I'm going to think up some questions for him.

Question for D. Koch-

Why is it not a conflict of interest to represent Satish AND Deepak?  They did give conflicting declarations about even each other as to who drove to CnC's from Joran's.

I thought so as well. I was completely floored when she said that.

Well, the statement did show that she had a different take on things than most of the folks here.

[LilPuma]

and the master card commerical ... upon closer viewing of it... they compare arbua to the anartic for vacation... she says jamica? he says no... she says someother place... he says no... when she says aruba he states... you're getting warmer... that's not pro aruba.....

I like the part where the woman has to jump out of the way of the penguin.     makes me smile - maybe because they didn't go to Aruba.

It didn't floor me that she had a different take on things - everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What floored me was that she gave the impression she was going to do a news-style interview, then interjected her personal feelings into. I can't imagine Charles Gibson on ABC News doing a story on George Bush and then interjecting his personal beliefs into the story. The whole concept strikes me as odd.

MSM inject   their personal beliefs all the time.
Thats waht makes them MSM

Another Question for D. Koch-

Why is it not a conflict of interest to represent Satish AND Deepak?  They did give conflicting declarations about even each other as to who drove to CnC's from Joran's.[/quote]

In the spring of 2006, Koch gave an interview in which he made a statement to the effect that  the Kalpoes would probably be charged with a crime in Aruba, and go to trial in June or July.  Can he elaborate, please?

[LilPuma]

Dana, I can't seem to resolve my a/v computer problems - think I need a new one.  But I am able to listen to the podcasts for some reason.  Anyhow, you might want to mention to David Kock that if he has verifiable records of any kind that show his client(s) are innocent of some of the things they are suspected of, that he could forward them to you or Red and they'd be put on this site.  Guess you should check with Red before making any promises, but you know what I'm saying.

[SunFreak2]

Another Question for D. Koch-


Has Deepak gotten his visa problems with Aruba straightened out?  We've heard Internet chatter about Deepak having been in Miami somewhat recently.  Is there any truth to that?

[BTgirl]

Hmmmm....yes, in a sense. And yet, they don't usually say, "Charles Manson said he didn't kill those people and I'm inclined to believe him." They interject their personal beliefs in more subtle (and possibly more acceptable) ways than outright taking sides in what should be a news story.

At BFN they have a thread "facts in the case".  This was posted by WorldJourner:


FACT:  In each of the 3 Main Murder Suspects initial, coordinated statements, each Current Murder Suspect admitted that NATALEE received blunt force trauma to her head

[Kathya0427]

Dana...I was wondering could you ask Koch if it is true that Deepak and/or Satish left Suriname because of problems kinda like they are accused of in Aruba?  If not, have they ever been in trouble in Suriname?

WOW.... I believe that!  but where do they have the proof?  Just curious...not questioning  - ya know?

I think WorldJournier is basing this upon the early statements of JK2.

[mrs. red]

earlier than what we have I guess....

[mrs. red]

K... dinner has arrived, will BBL.... want to get settled in before Dana's show starts...
