court tv

the moderate voice tells us that the dr. phil show has bailed the youtube violence teens out of jail:

how far will the staff of some shows go to get big ratings? this far:

the tv talk show dr. phil mcgraw confirmed on saturday the fact that its staff bailed out of florida jail one of the girls involved in the violent video posted on youtube. the video depicted several teen girls beating one of their classmates while filming her.

mercades nichols is one of the eight teen girls who face charges in the case of the vicious beating posted on youtube. she was bailed out by a representative of the show on friday night, myfoxtampabay.com reported.

the bails for the violent girls were set on friday and they are ranging from $30,000 to $37,000. the girls are aged from 14 to 18.

the bailing out was confirmed via e-mail by terri corigliano, a show spokeswoman. in his e-mail, corigliano explained that the show has previously helped other “guests and potential guests” of the show with different needs, but in this case “certain staff members” who were in the process of booking guests for the dr. phil mcgraw show went a bit too far and broke the rules of the show…

keep this post and bookmark this story. will the girl eventually appear on dr. phil’s show? if so, the show’s explanation will prove to be….inaccurate.
