We’ve spent some time in the past discussing the legal, ethical, and financial implications of NBC’s hit show To Catch a Predator. Now, even the show’s advertisers wonder if they should be part of it:

The latter is, of course, Bill Conradt, the former Kaufman County DA. Let me be the third person on staff to say Esquire’s story on Conradt’s final hours is excellent.
