Caleb Flynn’s defense attorneys speak after guilty verdict
Who speaks once the verdict is in? On East Idaho News, it was Caleb Flynn's defense attorneys. Eight hours after the channel posted their remarks, the video had passed 80,000 views.
That pace puts it on course for roughly twelve times what a new East Idaho News upload usually gathers across its whole first day. The rest of the channel was quieter than normal. So were most of the large local news stations of a similar size, including FOX 5 Washington DC, CBS Chicago and CityNews. WUSA9 was the one holding its usual pace.
People did more than watch. The comments reached about half the number of likes, which makes for a busy comment section on a news upload.
The title is plain: it names the lawyers, the defendant and the moment, after the guilty verdict. It offers nothing more, and it needs nothing more.
