James Spears fi led his petition to terminate the con- servatorship in Los Angeles Superior Court. “As Mr. Spears has said again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter,” the document says. “If Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conserva- torship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance.” Judge Brenda Penny, who oversees the case, will need to approve the move. Britney Spears attorney Matthew Rosengart said in an email the fi ling “represents another legal victory for Britney Spears — a massive one — as well as vindication for Ms. Spears.” James Spears had been the target of much of the anger sur- rounding the conservatorship from both his daughter and the public. A petition from Britney Spears’ attorney to remove him was to be heard at the next hearing in the case on Sept. 29. James Spears said in a fi ling Spears on Aug. 12 that he was plan- ning to step down as the conservator of her fi nances, but offered no timetable.

  • Teacher Notes
    Media Series - TV Teacher Notes Television in the Global Age Teachers’ Notes The resources are intended to support teachers delivering on the new AS and A level specifications. They have been created based on the assumption that many teachers will already have some experience of teaching Media Studies and therefore have been pitched at a level which takes this into consideration. Other resources are readily available which outline e.g. technical and visual codes and how to apply these. There is overlap between the different areas of the theoretical framework and the various contexts, and a “text-out” teaching structure may offer opportunities for a more holistic approach. Slides are adaptable to use with your students. Explanatory notes for teachers/suggestions for teaching are in the Teachers’ Notes. The resources are intended to offer guidance only and are by no means exhaustive. It is expected that teachers will subsequently research and use their own materials and teaching strategies within their delivery. Television as an industry has changed dramatically since its inception. Digital technologies and other external factors have led to changes in production, distribution, the increasingly global nature of television and the ways in which audiences consume texts. It is expected that students will require teacher-led delivery which outlines these changes, but the focus of delivery will differ dependent on texts chosen. THE JINX: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst Episode Suggestions Episode 1 ‘The Body in the Bay’ is the ‘set’ text but you may also want to look at others, particularly Episode 6 with its “shocking” conclusion.

But behind closed doors, Durst was more than a mogul… he was wanted for murder. The latest installment in the top- rated ID Murder Mystery franchise from America’s leading true crime network, Investigation Discovery (ID), ROBERT DURST: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY, delves into the twisted truth behind one of New York’s most infamous real estate heirs. From the suspicious disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathleen, to the execution-style murder of his confidant, Susan Berman, and finally the brutal killing of his neighbor, Morris Black, this two-part special event pulls the curtain back on this 40-year saga. ROBERT DURST: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY premieres Monday, January 21 at 9/8c and Tuesday, January 22 at 9/8c, only on Investigation Discovery. “Truth is stranger than fiction, and there are few stories as bizarre – and, frankly, disturbing – as the one currently unraveling, today, around Robert Durst,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “The adage that money can’t buy happiness rings especially true in the epic tale of Robert Durst – and, perhaps, in this case, we’ll learn that it also can’t buy freedom.” ROBERT DURST: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY is an unabridged look into the investigation of Robert Durst for the murder of Susan Berman, Durst’s close friend, who was found shot execution-style nearly two decades ago.

  • Guilty Pleasure: a Case Study of True Crime's Resurgence in a Binge
    A Case Study of True Crime’s Resurgence in a Binge Consumption Era by Rachel Tinker — 95 Guilty Pleasure: A Case Study of True Crime’s Resurgence in a Binge Consumption Era Rachel Tinker Strategic Communications Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract While the fascination of the true crime genre can be traced to the 16th century, it has grown in widespread popularity in the last three years. This study explored potential causes for why the genre has become popular through a narrative rhetorical analysis of three popular pieces of true crime media – season one of the podcast Serial, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, and Making a Murderer. The study found that the true crime genre has grown due to a variety of circumstances, largely because of the resurgence of the binge-consumption era, which allows the audience to get more instant gratification for the program’s cliffhangers. It can also be deduced that true crime shows with certain rhetorical consistencies are more likely to take off in today’s media landscape. I. Introduction Humans’ bloody fascination with crime and murder has been linked to primitive needs for safety and security, in addition to the desire for certainty and justice.1 Within the last three years, the “true crime” genre has experienced a cultural revolution of sorts, and can be found across a variety of media platforms, from Netflix and HBO to podcasts and magazines. True crime, as it is referred to throughout the remainder of this paper, is broadly defined by Oxford Dictionary as “a genre of writing, film, etc., in which real crimes are examined or portrayed.”2 What used to be relegated to a specific corner of media is now stretching into the likes of CBS and NBC; as cable channels like the Oxygen Network focus solely on true crime, it gains additional coverage.

  • Spike Making Series on Computer Pioneer Mcafee 9 July 2015, Bythe Associated Press
    Spike making series on computer pioneer McAfee 9 July 2015, byThe Associated Press The Spike television network says it is making a six- part TV series based on the life of anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee, centered around interviews with him. McAfee formed a software security company named for himself and sold it, earning a fortune. He's lived an eccentric life that included being the subject of a manhunt after a U.S. expatriate who lived near McAfee's home in the Central American nation of Belize was found dead. He has denied any involvement in the shooting. The series and its format are reminiscent of HBO's "The Jinx," the series about millionaire murder suspect Robert Durst that was a sensation for the pay cable network earlier this year. But Sharon Levy, executive vice president of original series for Spike, said it was more about an attempt to make a non-fiction series with the drive of a fictional series. The series will be filmed this summer and air on the cable network sometime next year. © 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

  • Risk, Not Resources- Improving the Pretrial Release Process in Texas
    1 Policy Research Project on Correctional Oversight White Paper Series POLICY BRIEF June 2016 Risk, Not Resources Improving the Pretrial Release Process in Texas Nathan Fennell and Meridith Prescott LBJ School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin Texas’ resource-based bail systemSubtitle keeps low -risk individuals unnecessarily detained before trial and allows risky defendants to buy their freedom with limited oversight. This practice undermines public safety, disproportionately harms low-income defendants, and costs counties millions of dollars every year. By adopting pretrial reform in line with national standards, Texas can reduce its jail population while making communities safer. Introduction Texas county jails currently detain 40,300 inmates who are awaiting trial, representing over 62% of the entire jail population of the state.1 This sizable pretrial population is a result of the state’s reliance on a “resource-based” bail system that consists largely of money bonds. The decision about who is released and who is detained before trial is determined primarily by a person’s financial resources rather than his or her risk to public safety or likelihood to return to court. Indeed, the National Association of Counties has found that 60% of the confined population presents a low risk of pretrial misconduct.2 If the Texas jail population is representative of this national trend, then approximately 24,180 low-risk defendants are in Texas jails awaiting trial on any given day. This practice of incarcerating low-risk individuals is not only harmful to people confined in the jails, but is expensive for counties and has negative implications for public safety.
