Dr. Phil's Legal Troubles

First to answer this question and then I will comment, Two guests who admitted to committing crimes on the show end up in jail; do the convicts have a case against the TV host? Hell, NO!

Now for my commentary,
I actually watched this episode when it was first aired a few years ago, after all could you? With all the previews talking about them I just couldn't resist it, and I have to say it was like watching an accident happen in real life in slow motion. What isn't shown in this clip is the fact that they wanted Dr. Phil's help to go legit, they wanted to start a legitimate business by selling non-stolen goods by buying things direct from manufacturers to sell online. That was part of the "Help" they wanted, and I can guarantee you that even Dr. Phil wanted no part in that. And the worst part about this couple is they took their kids with them on their shoplifting excursions and might have used them in shoplifting. Not to condone criminal activity, they defiantly qualify for stupidest criminals, if they had any brains they would have sold off most of their "merchandise" and bought some kind of small business or a franchise of some kind, all stories of criminals "going legit" they take their illegitimate earnings and invest them into some kind of legitimate business, and again I do not condone criminal activity.

The funniest thing about this when it first aired was the fact that as soon as it was aired the police and other law enforcement agencies would be fast tracking some warrants to search their house and property.

I have to ask this Judge one question did you even watch this show, if you had you wouldn't have come down on Dr. Phil you would have praised him for exposing them. And as to the issue of warning them he did, also it wasn't a live show, in terms of being aired live, they could have asked to stop taping and go to a lawyer. And as to a lawyer, I don't think even Johnnie Cochran could get them off.
