Media / LegalTHE TRUTH ABOUT KEN'S OUTBURST
- Melissa did 5 lengthy interviews with Ken.
- Remember, Ken was 85 years old, exhausted after a 9 year court battle which exonerated him of all previous charges. He was in ill health, suffering from Emphysema (which saw him battling constant lung problems), lumbar spinal stenosis (which kept him in almost constant pain), and several other conditions. One of which was to see him lose the sight of one eye two and a half months after this interview.
- A normal man could not endure this pressure.
- Melissa’s tactic, knowing and fully aware of Ken’s condition and stresses, was to interview for 3 or 4 hours at a time.
- His exhaustion at the end of these interview times is detectable. This is the footage throughout the film that she tends to use of him.
- On this last interview with Ken Melissa for 3 and a half hours needles Ken with negative, old questions towards Kenja.
- To see the full 3 and a half hour interview with Ken and Jan is to get a wonderful insight into Kenja.
- But it was in the last 15 minutes of this interview that Melissa finally gets him angry
- To see the whole footage of his angry outburst is to have a lot of empathy for the issues he was addressing.
- After months of working with Melissa he begins to see her agenda.
- Exhausted, he sits down, apologies to her and she gives her agreement not to use that outburst.
- These are some short clips of Ken after the outburst.
