One of the most difficult stories I've ever covered - TODAY'S TMJ4

One of the most difficult stories I've ever covered - TODAY'S TMJ4:


FPO

Shelley Walcott: Don't Tell The Boss

The true view from the field and desk.



Thursday was a tough day for me professionally.


My assignment: To do a follow up story on Joel Hochmuth, the (now former) communications director for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, who was charged with possessing and distributing child porn.


The problem: Joel and I know each other. We worked side-by-side years ago at CNN, producing segments on a show called "CNN Student News".


Fate led us both to Milwaukee. It also forced our paths to cross in the worst possible way...

I believe child porn is one of the worst things that happens in this world. I think people who want to see a child victimized in this way is sick, and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
