Officials with the NBC News program Dateline changed their minds about airing the story and now MSNBC producers are filming a documentary on it. We are referring to the Cassie Stoddart murder trial that took place in Bannock County.

The crew is in Pocatello this week talking to detectives, prosecutors and defense attorneys.  Even Anna Stoddart, Cassie's mother, hesitantly agreed to be a part of it.

A crew with Story House Productions was conducting interviews inside Judge Naftz's courtroom Wednesday afternoon. As an outsider looking in, the producer calls it a strange, horrible and shocking crime where it happened in such a tight-knit community and where it involves such young teenagers.

Producer Patrick Rogers says he's overseen a number of series involving the crime of murder but that this one stands out. He says since the moment he met the people of Pocatello, he has a newfound empathy for all involved.

His next stop, Boise.  At the state capital is where he will talk with both Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper's families.

Rogers says he's not doing this documentary to give the two teens national notoriety, like they say they desired in their homemade film.

Patrick Rogers, Producer/Director/Writer: "I can understand why somebody would say that so I'm trying to minimize any sort of sensationalism concerning this story and we do want to have an element that can perhaps help parents spot any kind of warning signs that may help prevent something like this in the future."

Both Adamcik and Draper have appeals into the highest court in the state. Both cases are in the early stages of the process. Briefing is the first step where written arguments are handed in.  The written arguments serves as a precursor, a way to prepare for oral arguments in court.

The next step involves the case being assigned to either the Court of Appeals or to the Supreme Court.

So in all reality, it will still take quite some time before any decisions will be handed down.
