Nobody wants to axe a judge except..... a news reporter. Prosperie was performing with the Hellcats and actually did have an axe hit him that was thrown by the reporter.

Fine, then cite an example of which you have first hand knowledge like he said.

Two associates from an organization was ask by the director of that organization to take the judges who were judging finals the next evening out to dinner. I was there. I won't identify the parties envolved. These things do happen in an attempt to influence and I'm surprised you're surprised that they do.

 Now that you mention it, I do recall hearing about that incident.

  I have heard of reporters that have an axe to grind with people sometimes. But this crazyazz reporter seemed to take that to a whole new level by launching the axe toward Jeff.  What a dangerous lunatic.

So... you were there when a director asked two associates to try and take a judge out to dinner (But that was not your accusation).  You attacked the integrity of the judges by stating that they did, indeed, change their scores based on a dinner meeting; Do you have first hand knowledge that the judges, in fact, did become corrupt and change their scores?

 it was unintentional. He's to be forgiven then in retrospect. That was pretty scary for Jeff though. Could have been much, much worse. looks like it was bad enough though. Must've hurt like hell after that hit.
