"Why is there so much interest in a dead slut and her sleazy entourage?"
Let me try to respond.
Originally, I would have asked the same question. Then the tabloid drama became interesting because of the many criminal and legal questions arising; i.e.
Two premature deaths - cause and manner undetermined.
An estate in excess of $1billion
Immigration certification
Parental DNA determination
Custody rights
Psychological/drug impairment
Illegitimate Next-of-kin determination
Common law marriage - civil unions
Improper/illegal real estate transactions
Brainwashing/psychological control
Drug abuse facilitation/dependency
Professional misconduct - medical, psychological and legal.
Possibly a conspiracy to commit murder and grand larceny/fraud.
good list!
IMHO, this subject is nothing less than crass sensationalism.
