From: James Yorton Subject: ACTION ALERT: Saturday Night Live Date: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 11:08:08 -0600 (CST) [ submitted by TheCallan ] On Saturday Night Live, February 24, 1996, Norm MacDonald, as the last item on "Weekend Update" reported on the sentencing of John Lotter, the killer of Brandon Teena and two other people. With a one paragraph clip about the sentencing from USA Today behind him. MacDonald's joke went: "In Nebraska this week, a man was sentenced to death for attempting to kill a female crossdresser who accused him of raping her. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but in my opinion, everybody in this case deserved to die."
