Actually, this is not a trail but a hearing where Russ will agree to the terms of the Diversion Program he is going to placed. If he meets all terms of the Diversion Program this will be erased.
Check my post in December that defined the DP program in Tarrant County.
As long as Russ follows the program there will NEVER be a trial.
This program is afforded to every citizen in Tarrant County that meets the qualifications so there should be no bashing or pontificating that Russ is getting a special deal.
Every person that does imply that is showing their ignorance, immaturity and lack of understanding of the laws of Tarrant County Texas.
Bottom line after that hearing it should dropped as due process was served. Unless Russ does not follow the Program, of course.
Hopefully, one day when you posters you hide behind pseudonyms bash Russ need the same consideration for a misstep you made this program or others will here for you so you do not destroy your and your family's lives. In the eyes of the court Russ is a citizen...not a provocative radio personality. He is a citizen of the US and is protected under the same US Constitution you and I are. I wish the best for all you who cast stones and I pray your house in not made of glass.

Uh "Towerowner?" Aren't you a pseudonym and is your aim at glass houses any good?
And can we finally stop all the Russ threads?.he's over, done, ghandi, kaput, good riddance, hasta lavista. CBS will renegotiate his checks, the economy is horrendous so no INTELLIGENT radio station/company will hire him,and spend money foolishly. I know they do, yes, but Russ's ratings were going down faster than Drano.
We now return you to the RM

You sure about that? This isn't a plea to my understanding - this is Russ going into a batterers diversion program that the victim must agree to. Also, Russ must admit that he committed the alleged acts to be placed into the program. So to all those who have defended him, said over and over "let's hear his side of the story" - when/if he does go through with this on the 22nd, is that proof enough?

Well, to turn that around, if he had gone to court and been aquitted of all wrong doing, would it have been proof enough for all the RM bashers out there? I have a feeling it would have been "if you have the money and celebrity, you can get away with it."
I have read the affidavit and I don’t think it describes a "misstep," as you characterize the incident. It describes an action that exposes such a deep and unacceptable character flaw, that the actor should be forced to retreat to a world where they have few friends beyond those with the same last name.
Gossip thread. How is this related to radio?

Last I checked Russ was no longer a radio personality. Has this board become TMZ?
board monkey said:
its only NOT ok and unacceptable when its about someone the "herd" likes.
Imagine the outcry from people if there were multiple threads being started about the personal lives and dealings of oh say, I dunno, Debbie Diaz or Ron Chapman. Then it's a problem, and they would all come out of the woodwork to tell you! But if it's about someone they don't like then it's OK.
Heck I would even wager that had someone tried the same approach just with a "beloved" radio personality, there would be threats of legal action and all sorts of fun. Oh but wait I forgot, apparently some people "deserve" it and others don't.

The vast majority of the RMS was all about Russ' personal life. Once you've opened that door, it's a bit tough to slam it shut.
Russ wanted to glorify himself by making the show all about him. Almost every topic on the program revolved around how it effected him. His money, his houses, his cars, his auto-repair shop, his band, his girlfriends, his weenie, chewing tobacco, snuff, dogs, strippers, and on and on and on. Even when there was something that happened that hit JD or anyone else, Russ would bring it back around to how their personal lives caused HIM problems.
Remember when JD was suffering physically from stress related issues after he quit drinking? Russ hammered him daily to start drinking again because it was causing him problems.
So no. You don't get to cry about poor little Russ on this one. Russ built the show around himself and his "soap-opera life" and made himself the target. That means love him or hate him, fire away.
WheredidMergeGo said:
Yeah right... Look, can you prove beyond a shadow of doubt that everyone talking about Russ' situation here, hates him? Does this mean that posters here who are neither fans nor foes, cannot post their unbiased views about Russ' legal issues?
Maybe you need to spend some time outside of your cubicle, to take a breather.

I'm not quite sure I understand your logic but then again, I don't believe everything I hear on the radio or tv. I usually take it for entertainment.
Adversely, I don't take pleasure in the up and downs of people in the "media" as it were. Sorry but the logic of "people deserve it" just seems kinda off to me.
Though it is funny to read the rationale people will use to continue the discussion.
(edit - see post above this for perfect example)
Because we all know had the "legal" mess occurred after the station flip then NO ONE here would be talking about it right scrtr84? But he has been off the air for how long now, and how many threads are there??
scrtr84 said:
Interesting, yet you(and many others) assume anyone who questions the situation the other way is a fanboy?
It's funny that logic and reason only seem to be valid and applicable when its used for the "other side" of the argument, should someone try to apply it in a way that isn't directed at continuing the gossip, then its just rambling from a blind fanboy. Got it.
