I had heard about this story a couple of weeks ago, but daily it seems to continue to get more and more attention, until this morning as I was eating my oatmeal and drinking my tea I heard NPR do a whole segment on it. For those who haven’t heard – the story is basically that the local news show on Channel 19 in Akron, OH was hoping to be able to film the corruption trial of Jimmy Dimora, a former county commissioner. Clearly this is big news for Akron, and sketch artists just weren’t going to cut it. And so, Channel 19 has hired Natural Bridges Puppet Company to recreate certain moments of this courtroom drama. Video posted below.
NOTE: there is a delay in the sync between the video and the audio.
