Oh, but I bet she will now. The bad publicity from this will drive her to testify. Nothing like a little bad publicity to get celebrities to do what you want.Lauren Nelson, 20, of Lawton, Okla., worked with police in Suffolk County to target would-be Internet sexual predators, taped for an episode of the TV show "America's Most Wanted."
. . .
But one or all of the cases against the men could be in jeopardy after Nelson told prosecutors she did not plan on returning to Long Island to testify, said Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota in Newsday's Tuesday edition.
Didn't it occur to them that she would need to testify, before they put her in this position?
UPDATE: Apparently NEWSDAY got it wrong! The story is untrue. See the comments section for a link and quote from America's Most Wanted. Looks like Fox News pulled the story from their front page.

Hey -- this story was NOT TRUE. Lauren Nelson apparently NEVER refused to testify -- the newspaper got it wrong. America's Most Wanted just put out a statement about it. It's at www.amw.com
Good call!
""Despite the information to the contrary that appears in an article in Newsday, according to the Miss America Organization neither Lauren Nelson nor her representatives have told the Suffolk County District Attorney -- or anyone else -- that she would refuse to testify in any of the cases in which she participated. We don't know why the D.A. would make the comments attributed to him without knowing all of the facts."
It did seem really weird that she would do such a thing.
Thanks!
Maybe you should change the name of your blog to A Taste of Lies.
Liar.
