10PM LEAD

TV6's lead at 10pm was that a man had been acquitted in the San Fernando court of murdering a teen.
Just one picture of the man and his family outside the court and a very long script.
OK, maybe you got the story late from your sister paper the Express, but you need to chop the script down to the bare minimum for the newscast.
Samantha was tripping over herself and gasping for breath because the script was just too long, as if it was copied and pasted wholesale from the Express.

PS CNMG had video outside the court and an interview with the acquitted man in their 7am newscast Wednesday.
