Oprah Winfrey Bring Killer and Victims Family Together  2/2/07

Oprah Winfrey staged a dramatic meeting between a killer and the family of the teenager he murdered a decade ago (97) on Wednesday (31JAN07). Nathaniel Abraham, 21, was scheduled to confront Ronnie Greene's family on camera on Winfrey's daily talk show, but his attorney cancelled the taping at the last minute after watching the media queen "mediate" an apology from his client during a pre-show chat. 

Lawyer Daniel Bagdade admits he was riveted by the exchange, set up in a private office at her Harpo Studios headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. 

Bagdade says, "We ended up doing the apology in Oprah's office. It was incredible." The lawyer gave no explanation why he pulled the plug on a planned TV show appearance. Abraham was just 11 when he shot Greene, 18, with a rifle in 1997. He was convicted of second-degree murder five years ago and he completed juvenile sentence on 18 January (07).
