Murder of Scott Amedure

Scott Bernard Amedure (January 26, 1963 – March 9, 1995) was an American murder victim who was fatally shot after revealing on The Jenny Jones Show that he was attracted to an acquaintance. The acquaintance — Jonathan Schmitz (born July 18, 1970), who had a long-standing history of mental illness — later shot Amedure and was found guilty of second degree murder. The Amedure family, retaining Geoffrey Fieger as lawyer, sued The Jenny Jones Show for wrongful death, but the judgment was subsequently overturned by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
