Scott D. Pierce: “The documentary outlines how the U.’s housing staff and police department failed. And it ends with a note about how the U.’s reforms failed.”
ESPN is releasing a documentary called "Listen" about slain University of Utah student athlete Lauren McCluskey.takes center stage on ESPN+, Hulu and ABC this week, and the University of Utah comes off looking bad. Again.
The 90-minute documentary “LISTEN” both recaps and adds previously unknown details about how McCluskey, a student and athlete at the U., feared for her safety after she briefly dated Melvin Rowland. How she repeatedly sought help from both campus police and housing officials and was repeatedly ignored or rebuffed. How Rowland shot and killed her and later took his own life.
The documentary outlines how the U.’s housing staff and police department failed. And it ends with a note about how the U.’s reforms failed. The doc includes an interview with Miguel Deras, the former campus police officer, who hasn’t spoken publicly about this before. You can almost feel sorry for him as he says he wasn’t trained to deal with this sort of situation. Deras says no one from the department sought out Rowland for questioning “because we were not sure if it was him” who was sextorting McCluskey. Quinn inquires, “But why not ask him?” and there’s a 30-second pause — which seems like an eternity — before Deras answers.
