Day Two in the Desmond Turner Septuple Slay Trial: Bullets and Ball Caps

Here’s a quick-and-dirty attempt at quick-edit video reporting, recorded right after I got home form today’s proceedings.

Still the whole thing still took several hours to complete, so I’m not sure this kind of content is worth it at the end of a long day in court. Anyway, I’m clearly a lot better at improvising behind the camera than in front of it.

Suddenly, a new-found respect for the life and times of Geraldo Rivera…

    About Me

    Born and raised in Indianapolis, I've spent my adult life trying to understand where I came from by living in other places. I worked for the International Herald Tribune, in Paris, The New York Times and the Queens Chronicle, in New York, and I studied in Dublin. As a freelancer, I've written about books, cars and travel for those and other publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Sun-Times and Publishers Weekly. I've reported from Dubai, Bahrain, the Philippines and Kentucky. Since October, I've lived in Los Angeles, with several month-long stints in Indianapolis mixed in for good measure. Somewhere along the road I got the Indiana state flag tattooed on my left arm.

    My current project -- a documentary about the horrific 2006 slaying of an Indianapolis family of seven -- is pulling me back home, where the first seeds of my angst-ridden wanderings were planted.

    What I'm Up To

    Human Trafficking in Dubai

    The first installment of a piece I worked on for several years was just published in Guernica magazine. It relates Dubai’s current economic collapse to the fundamental instability of an economy that was based heavily on worker exploitation. Check it out, here.
