Why? Because the defense will study those interviews and will bring up in court the difference between the statement that they made in writing, what they just testified to in court, and the various TV interviews, and try to show how they may have changed over time in an attempt to discredit the witness.

I don't know why they should stop because of this. If the witness story changes over time then that is something that should be brought to light and the "media" helping to do so is not a negative. Eyewitness testimony is so shoddy to begin with.
Why I am more or less sticking with the PD deserves what they get in the civil trial. I find it hard to believe there will not be a preponderance of evidence supporting guilt even if not beyond a reasonable doubt.
