I think CBS will appeal. Would set a bad (IMO) precedent to let the prosecution get away with this.

Why should CBS be more protected than you and me? If I had this video, I would have to turn it over.

The interesting thing about the '60 Minutes' case is that there is no "source" being protected; no "reporter priveledge" at stake. This is about "outtakes" left on the cutting room floor. I think '60 Minutes' might not have much of a leg to stand on.

I also agree that there's likely nothing damning in the outtakes anyway, or CBS would have certainly used it to try to bury Wuterich in the aired segment. The problem is that the crooked scumbags on the prosecution side will have more stuff to spin.
