[written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to GRAHAM UNDERHILL, BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, MARTIN RICE, REX WOCKNER, CHRIS AMBIDGE, ALAN REEKIE, GREG GORDON & LUCIA CHAPPELLE; anchored by LEO GARCIA & CINDY FRIEDMAN].. 9:55 SEGMENT #2 - For those who remember, it`s hard to believe that May 21st marks the 20th anniversary of San Francisco`s "White Night Riots" and the police invasion of the Castro, all following a jury`s shocking verdict convicting former cop and city Supervisor Dan White not of murder, but of voluntary manslaughter, for the November 1978 double assassinations of popular Mayor George Moscone and the city`s first openly gay Supervisor, Harvey Milk. For those who need a history lesson, This Way Out briefly recalls the circumstances around the horrifying murders and the "Twinkie defense" used by Dan White`s attorneys. Then, as you`ll hear in dramatic on-scene coverage of that violent night, and the peaceful celebration the next, the verdict proved to be just too much for "Harvey`s people" to suffer in silence (with music from "Better Decide Which Side You`re On", "Law & Order", "(We Don`t Need No) Aggravation", and "We Ain`t Gonna Take It", all by the TOM ROBINSON BAND) [excerpted from "Diminished Capacity: The Assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk, the Workings of the Criminal Justice System, and the Legacy of Dan White", a 1979 documentary produced and narrated by GREG GORDON] >.............................. 16:25 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY ......................................... 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ................................................. 28:55 -----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
