Jenny Jones Finishes Testimony

In court Wednesday, talk show host Jenny Jones finished defending her show against allegations that it ambushed guests.

The Jenny Jones Show and its producer are being sued for $50 million by the family of Scott Amedure, who was killed by a man to whom he confessed to having a crush on Jones' show.

In 1995, Amedure and Jonathan Schmitz appeared on an episode where Amedure confessed he had a secret crush on Schmitz, CBS News Correspondent Drew Levinson reports. Three days later, Schmitz allegedly shot Amedure to death. Schmitz said he was humiliated on the program and was convicted of second degree murder. The family says the show triggered the series of events and should be forced to pay reparations.

"Do you think it is only a coincidence, Miss Jones, having nothing to do with what happened on the show?" prosecutors asked Wednesday.

"Yes, I think it has nothing to do with what happened on the show," she responded.

Amedure's family says the producers should have told Schmitz another man had a crush on him before he came on the show.

"Well, he was an adult," Jones testified. "He was given enough information to make an informed choice. He knew that we were not going to reveal to him who had the crush, or the sex of the person that had the crush."

Several times during the trial, the Amedures' attorney, Geoffrey Fieger, went nose to nose with Jones.

"Fieger spent the last three days trying to impeach me and attack my character and tried to call me a liar and I think by the end of this three days, I've proven that I am not," Jones said.

That will be up to members of the jury when they finally get the case. What they decide will affect not only the Jenny Jones show, but could change how all talk shows handle their guests before and after they appear.

Schmitz was convicted in 1996 of second-degree murder. His conviction later was overturned because of an error in jury selection. His retrial is scheduled for Aug. 19.
