In this edition of
Murder One, viewers follow the course of events in the trial of Michigan v. Schmitz, popularly known as the Jenny Jones case. Jonathan Schmitz was charged with the murder of Scott Amedure, a man who admitted he had a crush on Schmitz while appearing as a guest on the Jenny Jones Show. The death of Amedure exposed the show to criminal liability and sparked debate over the propriety of such shows, and what, specifically, the First Amendment does and does not protect. ~ Rob Ferrier, All Movie Guide
