Extended family that television news rooms and news viewers are. today general manager delivered the news and tried to express what he thought and felt of the killer. >> i think i'll step out of my role as a former journalist and say i'm not sure whether i want him to live or die. if he dies he took the coward's way out. if he lives he goes on trial and goes to prison for the rest of his life. i presume that. in any case we're hurt enough that i want to express our anger and we want to express our love for alison and adam who whenever i saw them here at work full of smiles and full of conversa...
