Phoenix reporter ruled guilty in attack
-- Broadcasting & Cable, 7/24/2000
The future of KTVK(TV) Phoenix reporter Bill Mosley at his station was unclear following his conviction and sentencing for an attack on his girlfriend earlier this year. Mosley was given a four-month jail sentence with all but 15 days suspended. He was also given a fine, probation and counseling. Prosecutors had asked for only five days.
Mosley had been suspended with pay pending the disposition of the criminal case, and management at the station-which covered the trial-had not yet decided whether that disposition ends the 53-year-old, 24-year veteran reporter's time at the Belo-owned station. Mosley was apologetic at sentencing, according to witnesses, but he has also appealed the verdict.
Station management said there has been public reaction, both positive and negative, regarding Mosley's continuing at ktvk, but no groundswell in either direction.
