NOTE: As the legal panel ended last night, Geoff Fieger made a remark that has provoked many e-mails. Most of the e-mails object to his comment, but I have chosen two reflecting opposite views:

Greta,
I am Catholic, Hispanic and female in Texas; I ALSO voted for John Kerry... talk about a "minority!" My family and I always enjoy hearing Fieger's comments. Tonight when he made a "Catholic joke," we found it quite funny although someone on the panel gasped! People need to lighten up! That's what's wrong with this country! If I ever needed an attorney I would feel lucky and honored to have him as my attorney — especially if my life depended on it!

Hi Greta,
While watching tonight's discussion of the Petersen jury, one of your guest lawyers made a wisecrack regarding the crucifixion. While this may be a joke to him, as a practicing Catholic I find his flippant attitude offensive. Maybe you should be more selective in choosing commentators.
