Vinnie Politan from Court TV answers 7 Questions with Emmy

Every week I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world.

My guest today is the popular face of Court TV. Vinnie Politan hosts ‘Closing Arguments’ every weeknight and has over 20 years of experience reporting on some of the most high-profile court cases in American history.

• What got you interested in a legal career?
• What do you like better – being in a courtroom or being on TV?
• What is the most memorable case that you have covered?
• You have interviewed and interrogated a lot of people. Can you share a few tips on what makes a good interviewer?

• What is one thing you think people don’t understand about the legal system?
• Have you ever been to Idaho and what’s your favorite way to have our famous potatoes?
