Webcast Post

20/20 did a Webcast story, that was also on television, about a young woman named Louise from Mt. Washington, KY, who was working at McDonalds when she was tied up and sexually assaulted in the restaraunt. Now Louise is suing the Golden Arches for 6.1 million dollars.
This webcast is done well and it is far more effective than a webcast because of the fact that the torment and assault is caught by surveillance camera. This video, coupled with the girl's testimony and interview with the reporter, cuts back and forth the whole time and is offered as undeniable evidence to the viewer. It's done in a way where the viewer gets to choose what they think is right and wrong, amazingly there is room for debate because the manager in charge of Louise at the time claims to be innocent of any blame, we get to see this woman, named Summer, and hear from her as well.
Cutting from person to person, along with showing the details of where all of this happens and some graphics, makes this a compelling story that gives the viewer faces and environment to go along with a powerful and disturbing story.
