timothy-sullivan.jpg    Timothy Sullivan has been a journalist for more than thirty years. He is the author of Unequal Verdicts: The Central Park Jogger Trials, published by Simon & Schuster in 1992. The book, described by The New York Times as “an authoritative account of the trials,” was chosen as an alternate selection of the Literary Guild and by the Doubleday Book Club. In 1994, Gryphon Editions published a special edition for its Notable Trials Library series.
    As Court TV’s senior on-air correspondent in 1997, Sullivan covered the trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols for “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” on PBS, as well as for Court TV. The following year, he covered the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton in the U.S. House of Representatives. After those hearings, he became a producer and supervised Court TV’s coverage of Clinton’s trial in the Senate.
     Earlier in his television career, Sullivan covered the first World Trade Center bombing trial, the child-custody battle between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, and the Branch Davidian (Waco) trial in San Antonio, Texas. He was also the senior script writer and lead on-air talent for a weekly documentary series called “The System,” which was produced by Court TV and nationally syndicated for two seasons (1994-95) by New Line Television.
     Sullivan joined Court TV in 1992 after working four years at American Lawyer Media in various editorial posts, including editor of Manhattan Lawyer magazine. He had previously worked for ten years as a reporter and editor for Gannett and Times-Mirror newspapers in New York and Connecticut.
     Tim and his wife, Margaret Pierpont, a writer and editor, live in New York.
