Jan 28, 2008 - Jerry Garrett was an Illinois teacher arrested for molesting a 4-year-old. Three years later, a jury found him not guilty. He still can't find a job or teach.
He said some people are still only interested in the accusation. And until now, he told FoxNews, no television station or newspaper followed up.
Attorney Joel Schwartz said the media shares the blame with the general public and that too many people ignore 'not guilty verdicts.

TT - It is a problem because the media - newspapers, radio and t.v. - do not follow up on such stories. We know because we have been contacted several times by people whose stories have appeared on this blog and have advised them how to get a follow-up story printed. Who to contact, what documentation to provide, and how to approach the media in requesting an update. We're glad to say that they did get update stories printed.
