The radio bad boy trial is over. The jury came back late yesterday afternoon and cleared Bubba the Love Sponge in his defamation trial. From Tom Taylor's column this morning...
One alternate told the Tampa Bay Times the whole affair was "a waste of time." One key for Bubba may have been the testimony of former Jacor/Clear Channel boss Randy Michaels. One online trial watcher says "Having Randy on the stand was incredibly important, because the jury got to have it explained by a real media executive who's been there in the trenches." Today, Bubba will be taking a victory lap on his “Bone” WHPT (102.5) morning show with a wide grin on his face.
