The person who pulled the trigger? Melissa Klinzing, former news director for Channel 7 during the ultra-controversial "Real Life, Real News" debacle of the '90s, whose name came up frequently in a successful age-discrimination lawsuit by Dave Minshall, now a spokesman for UFCW Local 7.
The latest? Scott has won an unemployment appeal against his station, meaning he'll keep receiving benefits as he continues to pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit. And Klinzing? As of last Friday, she's no longer an employee of the station. She and Scott have that in common.
