Richard Jewell Press Conference
Following his 88-day ordeal, Richard
Jewell and his mother, Bobi Jewell, attend
a press conference in 1997 after the
F.B.I. took him off their list of
suspects. He thanks his mother and then
addresses the F.B.I. and the media. "The
media cared nothing for my feelings as a
human being," says Jewell. "In their mad
rush to fulfill their own personal
agendas, the F.B.I. and the media almost
destroyed me and my mother." He continues,
"I felt like a hunted animal, followed
constantly, waiting to be killed."
