A total disregard for human life: UPDATE

On Friday, while filling in for Mark Belling on Newstalk 1130 WISN, I updated a disturbing story I first discussed one year ago. A woman was stabbed to death inside a Wichita surveillance store in June of 2007. As she lay on the floor bleeding, other shoppers ignored her. One took a cell phone out and snapped a picture of her on the floor.
LaShanda Callaway’s attacker, Cherish McCullough was found guilty last week of first degree murder. Apathy inside the convenience store is a clear example of a disgusting societal trend: a blatant disregard for human life.
The Wichita Eagle gave this story outstanding coverage:
The verdict.
A column on the loss of civility.
The murder caught on video.
Here's raw video of the murder. (Caution: Scenes might be difficult to watch)
If you missed Friday’s broadcast, here‘s the WISN podcast. The 4:00 hour features the convenience store murder. I discuss the city of Franklin’s victory in the Steve Hanke case in the 3:00 hour. The podcast will be available until 6:00 pm Monday.
