I absolutely love '48 Hours'! The storytelling is gripping, and the in-depth investigations keep me on the edge of my seat. Each episode is a masterclass in true crime storytelling! https://www.biztobiz.org/new-york-ny/professional-services/nyc-packaging-solution

I can't believe they even let this chick slide with a Manslaughter charge. She's a lying, manipulative person who batted her eyelashes enough to not get a full dose of justice. It's because of liars like her that abused women had an uphill battle to being believed in courtrooms for so long. Unfortunately, the pendulum has now swung too far the other direction and stuff like this happens, defying even the slightest application of reasonable critical thinking skills.

DO NOT interview a mother that has lost a small child. If she's crying, you can not understand a word she's saying and there is really no reason to do an interview, why bring up the trauma over and over again. Guilty or not, (we weren't there and have no idea what exactly happened) Do the interview well after the incident or by reading her response.

Gloria Allred is the worst kind of vapid attention-seeking attorney. She gives the profession a bad name and she isn't even a particularly talented or effective lawyer. All marketing and no substance. It would be more accurate if she just called herself a legal influencer instead.

Not only is it disturbing that 10 years was the "best" the prosecuting team could use as a bargain, how the perp still got that sentence approved despite the failure to fulfill his end of the deal is beyond me. The justice system failed Tammy.
