Court TV Quits the Investigation

Court TV has disbanded its investigative unit and decided not to renew a contract with reporter Diane Dimond, spokeswoman Rachelle Savoia confirmed Monday.

Dimond had been brought on to help Court TV cover the Michael Jackson trial. She became part of the Jackson story in June, when she obtained a restraining order against a Jackson fan who she complained had heckled her.

Savoia said Court TV still plans to host a party for Dimond’s book, Be Careful Who You Love: Inside The Michael Jackson Case, which is set to debut in November.
