Wendy Murphy vs. free speech

--"That means, 'Shut up. Don't lie.'"

That would be Wendy Murphy, co-host of WRKO's Finneran's Forum, explaining that the right to remain silent is actually an obligation limiting the right of alleged criminals (like Chuck Turner) to try to sway public opinion in their favor. 

Interesting, especially given Murphy's volubility as a pro-prosecution commentator during the Duke lacrosse rape case

    I emailed Finneran while she was on the air, saying just what you did. Stuart Taylor's book on the Duke lacrosse affair leaves Wendy looking like a sleazy demagogue.
