News Anchor: After the break we will have Star Bones, former Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney to discuss the case of “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.”
Commercial Break
News Anchor: Welcome back to the news. We have a special guest here with us, Star Bones. Star was the former Brooklyn ADA, and she has seen her share of murder cases. Welcome Star.
Star Bones: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here.
News Anchor: Star will you please give an overview of the case for anyone that isn’t familiar.
Star Bones: Well the heart of this case is that Alexander Wolf, A Wolf, was accused of murdering two little pigs and attempted murder on a third. He was also accused destroying the property of Piggy 1 and Piggy 2. In his defense A Wolf claims that he did not murder either Piggy 1 or Piggy 2, and that the destruction of property was accidental. He was tried by his peers and was found not guilty. There wasn’t enough evidence to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
News Anchor: Now Star, I know when you were in court you had you saw all kinds of characters in the court room. Many say they aren’t guilty, and they are presumed innocent, but do you think that A Wolf was in fact not guilty?
Star Bones: Let’s look at the facts of this case. We have a family of three pigs, and two of them are deceased due to the direct or indirect actions of this wolf. He had admitted that he went to visit Piggy 1 and Piggy 2 to…what did he go there for?
News Anchor: He went to borrow a cup of sugar.
Star Bones: Yes, he went there for a cup of sugar. He claims that he had a terrible cold and that his so called huffing and puffing was a ploy by the press sell papers. He states that he was sick and he was huffing and snuffing, not huffing and puffing. I believe that the DA took some swabs and they determined that he in fact did have a case of influenza. Also I want to go back a step remember that in the court of law if there is reasonable doubt, it is the duty of the jury to acquit. Remember in the OJ Wimpson case Johnny Dochran said it best “if it doesn’t fit you must acquit.”
News Anchor: Ok Star, he was sick. How does that explain the deaths of Piggies 1 and Piggies 2?
Star Bones: A Wolf claims that when he huffed and snuffed the homes fell in. There is some speculation that it is one of the unexpected side effects of our housing crisis. Some of the homes that sprouted up over the last few years were poorly constructed. The destruction of property claim was quickly thrown out of court, and all that was left were the murder charges.
News Anchor: Interesting, but Star let’s not veer too far off course. Were the cause of deaths for Piggie 1 and Piggie 2 determined?
Star Bones: Now I’m not the medical examiner, but I do know they were unable to determine the actual cause of deaths. The problem in that situation is there were no bodies to examine. A Wolf ate the victims after he found them already deceased. Without the bodies or any physical evidence to tie him to the murders of the victims, the jury had no other choice but to acquit. The DA didn’t have a very strong case for this trial.
News Anchor: Wait one moment, my producer is telling me that we have A Wolf and he is available by satellite. A Wolf welcome to the show, we have Star Bones here explaining the nuances of your case to our viewers. Congratulations on your not guilty verdict.
A Wolf: Hi, and thanks for having me on. First I need to clear up a few misunderstandings that have surfaced since my arrest. I will admit when the police found me in front of the house of Piggy 3 I was angry and a bit hysterical, but Piggy 3 was talking about my grandmother. He set me off. That being said I would not, nor would I ever harm any other creature in our Fairy Land.
Star Bones: What do you have to say about the two victims that you ate? It seems that you ate the evidence that could convict you for a very long time.
A Wolf: Listen Star, I’m a gentle peace loving wolf. The pigs were already dead when I ate them. I am a wolf, but I’m no killer. The media has sensationalized the entire affair. I am truly sorry what happened to the Pigford family, but going to jail for a crime that I did not commit will not bring back Piggy Pigford 1 or Piggy Pigford 2.
News Anchor: We only have 30 seconds left. A Wolf, one last question, what are you going to do now that you have your freedom back?
A Wolf: I just want to move on with my life. This case has opened my eyes to the injustices of this world. I’ve been accepted to law school, and I am going to fight for the rights of the broken, misunderstood and accused across this great land of ours. I want to make sure that the rights of those who have been accused of a crime are protected.
News Anchor: Good luck with that A Wolf. I want to thank our guests Star Bones and A Wolf for this riveting interview. Up next is it time to put your money under your mattress? We have Allen Deenspan to talk about the banking crisis and the state of the economy. We’ll be back after a word from our sponsors.

Whoa, this sounds extremely similar to a post above. I'm sure this was posted before that one but I read that one first. There are similar factors, such as sneezing and borrowing cups of sugar. That's not cool they copied off of you.
Your story is greater in detail and brings a true news point when they get the wolf via satellite. I love this news story and think it's true to what would actually happen.
Your content is well organized and structured so that it is easy to follow and point out the main points. The fashion which you structured your overview of the case was sharp. I want to also add that your conclusion of having Wolf going to law school was unexpected and humorous.Lastly, you mastered the entertainment portion of the assignment in that it closely mocks a news report. Good Job !
