Nicole Garcia’s live blogging from a courthouse has apparently prompted witnesses to come forward and testify in a murder trial.
According to TVNewsday, the prosecutor in the case has said at least five people contacted the D.A.’s office after reading daily blog reports from Garcia, aTV reporter from the Fresno Fox station.
Visitors to the blog are able to see more complete accounts of the court proceedings, rather than the typical 1:30 story. Witnesses have come forward to contradict testimony believed to be inaccurate.
