Radio Host Baldwin to Discuss Past Troubles
We've been invited with other media guests to join TalkBerkshires radio host Sherman Baldwin on his afternoon show on WBRK on Friday to talk about his troubled past.
The press conference, as he describes it, is a pre-emptive strike ahead of a Sunday story he said is being written by Berkshire Eagle freelancer and former managing editor Clarence Fanto.
Baldwin said his biggest concern is the Berkshire Job Summit that TalkBerkshires and Berkshire Money Management is hosting on Feb. 19. (An arm of iBerkshires, Berkshirejobs.com, is participating in the summit.)
According to Chris Churchill of the Albany Times-Union, who talked with him last year, Baldwin spent time in federal prison for committing fraud to get 1994's "The Crow" produced. The movie's best known for star Brandon Lee's accidental death during filming.
The paper also noted Baldwin's peripheral involvement in the Michael Skakel trial, offering this link to a section of a lengthy record of the murder case.
Neither incident had been concealed.
Baldwin said he wants to clear the air. In his press release, he stated:
|
For the past two and half years l have provided a community radio program to the Berkshires. I stand behind my record of what I have accomplished here and who I am as a member of this community. The time is now to answer any questions the public may have about me. |
The last thing I want to do is to cast a shadow over the Berkshire Job Summit so I am having this press conference to do everything in my power to make sure that the summit is not negatively effected by my past. This job summit could be a great step forward for the Berkshires and its economy and that must remain the objective at hand. Let's not get distracted.
