Ladies and Gentlemen:



On July 30, 2002, at 4:30 p.m. est., in New York City, channel 47 presented
a program named "Laura."  The program had three men tortured for allegedly
cheating on their wives.  A film of the three men being tortured was
actually shown on the program.  This is a case where violence and human
rights abuse was not only shown on a television program; the program's
producers generated the event itself so that they can show it.

The program was sponsored by companies such as Sears and Tylenol which
may/should have known about the shows contents before it was shown.  Do some
of these companies implicate themselves as accomplices in the crime involved
by producing/sponsoring such an event?  Perhaps there is a law firm which
would want to represent these three men in a lawsuit against the program's
producers, television station, and sponsors.  Civil lawsuits and legal
prosecution against those involved may be the only thing that will deter
this new form of "entertainment" from being produced and shown on
television.  Please let me know what you think.  Thank-you.



Sincerely,

James A. Llerena
