Frank Ricci's firehouse in New Haven was not exactly captivated by his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Some firefighters said they watched the hearing on TV briefly, while others said they were too busy testing hoses on a hot day.
Some said they were sick of it after six years -- and that's about all they would say. The city has ordered firefighters not to talk about the case.
Shortly after Ricci spoke, two firefighters were nearly asleep watching "Mad TV." A military channel had been on earlier.
