Fox News sued over on-air suicide

In September, JoDon Romero, 33, killed himself after an extended police chase.

Initially unaware of the man’s identity, his three children later watched the broadcast on the internet.

The broadcaster has apologised for the “severe human error” that led to the death’s airing.

Angela Rodriguez, the mother of JoDon Romero’s children aged about nine, 13 and 15, wrote in a court filing in the US state of Arizona that the children suffered severe emotional and psychological trauma.

She is suing the broadcaster for unspecified damages.

Fox News Expert Explains Trayvon Martin Died Of ‘Street Attitude’ Plus Some Bullet Wounds

“She was talking about the Skittles that he had, and the Coca-Cola [sic] that Trayvon Martin had…That doesn’t look good, you know, for the defense because [the prosecution is] injecting something into their minds. Like, this is a little kid with candy walking around the street.”

“Listen, Trayvon Martin would be alive today, okay, if he didn’t, alright, have a street attitude…That’s the bottom line.”

Or, you know, if George Zimmerman didn’t kill him.

Fox News Speculates Trayvon Martin Could Have Killed Someone With Skittles And Iced Tea

“I know everybody keeps sarcastically saying about the Skittles,” [Doug] Burns said. “You could probably kill somebody with Skittles.”

Fox host Jamie Colby replied, “But he didn’t take that iced tea and bang Zimmerman over the head with the bottle.”

“The thing is, yeah, you’re spinning a lot of hypotheticals,” Burns said. “And you could break a bottle of iced tea, right, with the jagged edge, and you could kill somebody with it.”
