Excerpt:

Geraldo Rivera’s 40-year career retrospective last night on Fox News Channel was edited in a memorably strange way.

A segment on the death penalty segued into a Rivera editorial on Casey Anthony, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. The bit on Anthony played right before Rivera looked back at the Beatles. It was the night Casey opened for John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Rivera decried the death penalty because of a “largely imperfect system that sometimes places a higher priority on getting a conviction than on seeking the truth about whether or not someone actually committed the murder for which they are about to lose their life.”

Rivera said the ultimate punishment “is not appropriate for a selfish, sick, crazy mom who kills her kid, like Florida’s Casey Anthony. Trying to execute her is a political act, not justice.”
