		<description>(yawn-stretch) Sorry, I&#039;ve been sleeping all day -- have they convicted and executed Russ Martin yet?  No?  What kind of Texas is this!?</description>

		<description>Pookiepants,
At the time of our initial conversation, there was no concrete information as to what happened.

As I said before, I would never condone domestic violence. Why don&#039;t you scroll up and read what I posted previously? I never once defended Mr. Martin. I defended the coverage of the event.</description>

		<description>Bethany
This is from the police report.

Martin grabbed his 27-year-old fiancé &quot;by the hair and threw her around a room in the house,&quot; according to the affidavit  It also says Martin pulled out &quot;chunks of hair&quot; from his fiancé&#039;s head.

He then kicked her full force in the thigh leaving a bruise on the woman&#039;s thigh, it says.  The affidavit says Martin then pulled out a pistol from behind his back and &quot;intimidated&quot; the woman with the gun.
------------
Sounds a bit like an early O.J. Simpson.  
Now, I know it is not true.  It couldn&#039;t be.
It&#039;s RUSS MARTIN for God&#039;s sake.  Quick Bethany find some large words that would defend this action.  The police report they found bruises and missing hair on his girlfriends head.  She must have done it herself because RUSS MARTIN never would. 
------------------
I pray for his soul and her health.  May God Bless them and keep them safe.  May Bethany Cochran find a way to blame it on the girlfriend.</description>

		<description>I never said he never did or didn&#039;t do it. I merely explained why the majority of the local news outlets reported it one way versus another.

As someone who has sat on a board of a family violence organization and someone who has had to cover an awful lot of the more tragic outcomes, I&#039;d hardly be OK with someone committing violence against a family member.</description>

		<description>Friday was a best of- so I doubt he was calling off his wedding on air that day. Also, it could be any number of people in his home, his fiance isn&#039;t the only person.. He isn&#039;t taking it too seriously by any means.</description>

		<description>I only listen to Sirius in the car and then it is usually Stern.  Did Russ Martin at one time have a partner that he did radio with?

Regardless, Mr. Martin should hire Bethany
Cochran to represent him because she has the ability to determine fact from fiction.  
If the gun doesn&#039;t blow, then let Russ Martin go.  Don&#039;t these things usually just add to the ratings and help get them a raise.
I don&#039;t remember Russ Martin being so buff.  He must be working out a lot.</description>

		<description>I was listening to his show on Friday and i&#039;m pretty sure he mentioned something about calling off his engagement.  He wouldn&#039;t go into details but he said there was a 50/50 chance that he wasn&#039;t going to marry her.  

The wfaa article mentioned russ had no history of domestic disturbance at home, so i&#039;m assuming the complainant is his fiance and not a stripper.  Does Southlake even have strip clubs?</description>
