Dr. Phil Bails Out Teen Who Beat Another Teen

A producer for Dr. Phil posted the $33,000 bail for Mercades Nichols tonight. Mercades was the alleged "ringleader" for the 8 teens who were involved in beating another teenage girl until she could not see or hear in one ear. The teens taped it, and it was brutal. Click here to see it. Out of all the scum bags the producer picked the worst one, and set her free. On the way out he claimed Dr. Phil’s show had exclusive rights to the Mercades’ story. She may have a problem telling her story however, since a judge has a strict gag order in place which won’t even allow the Sheriff to talk to the media. Dr. Phil already issued his damage control statement:

"We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show – assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re: the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised."

Uh huh, sure Dr. Phil. This was all a mistake, just like when he talked to Britney at the request of her mother. If anyone deserved to remain behind bars it was Mercades.

The most disgusting part of the video above is the female reporter putting her hands on the mother, and demanding they talk to her, as well as arguing with the Dr. Phil producer over exclusivity rights as they are walking along the street. Desperation is in the air.
