listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).
Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh will be put to death on May 16th. Two internet companies have gone to court for the right to web-cast his execution. We'll ask if the general public has a right to watch, and what harm or good might come from it. Laura's guests are Jane Kirtley, an attorney and professor of journalism at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis(www.umn.edu), and Larry Vogelman, board member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (www.criminaljustice.org)in private practice in Exeter.
