You assume facts not in evidence. There is no evidence that DA Conradt knew he was going to be filmed or that Dateline was involved in this sting unless he received a tip from the Murphy DA, the police in his town, or the police in Murphy. He did know, of course, that his computer contained evidence of another crime, possession of child pornography and that is probably why he chose to commit suicide. Getting all the facts straight before you publish might be a good idea, if what you are trying to do is present the facts and not just jump on the bash Dateline bandwagon. Professional jealousy is so unbecoming in the news media.
