A harsh sentence, I think they will win on appeal.

I would hope. Although I'm less than thrilled with the network owners they actually do some good reporting. I thought the network would be able to protect them better.

I certainly hope they win on appeal. The whole thing is a travesty. They are all respected journalists.
