Fort Myers Featured on “Deadly Sins” Episode this Saturday

Deadly Sins came to Fort Myers to do stories on a couple of our more dramatic murder cases from the last few years. Deadly Sins investigates, and re-enacts, parts of the gruesome murder cases of Fred Cooper and Dustin Jaye/Billy Retherford. (Cooper and Jaye were convicted, Retherford was killed trying to get away from cops.)

Dustin Jaye

Deadly Sins will be broadcast on the Investigation Discovery network Saturday night, 4/25, at 9:00 p.m., and features comments from many local individuals, including yours truly. Well, I was interviewed, based on our Crimcourts coverage of the Dustin Jaye trial, and hope that something I said will end up making it onto the show. Set your DVR now, local Xfinity has it on channel 111. The episode is titled, “Sunshine State of Delirium – – Fred DeWitt Cooper and Dustin Jaye//Billy Ray Retherford” Be sure to check it out.

UPDATE: Here’s the follow-up post on the cases: http://wp.me/p2xg12-MN

RIP Harry’s Law

It’s old news, but Harry’s Law was not renewed- and it looks like nails are in the coffin.  But congrats to Kathy Bates’ for her Emmy nom for her work on the show.  I enjoyed it, and it was pretty well reviewed: it just didn’t have enough viewers in the ‘right’ demographic. Sigh…
