One of the things I doubt I'll ever understand...
is why, out of the thousands of tragic homocides (and rapes) each year, the Press will single out a case like this one and indulge in such massive coverage. Not only is it boring as hell, it can't help but undermine the accused person's chance at a fair trial. Even when acquited, like OJ, they have to live with the stigma of the coverage for the rest of their lives.
As one commentator on Fox pointed out yesterday, the common thread in all of these cases is that the victims are pretty white women.
