You should know and understand that some crimes are just too henous, too unthinkable for the public to obsorb, let alone the Attorneys, Judges, and Jurors who oversee them....that was one of them. Just as the Dalimer trial was... which we only saw glimpses of for the most part...and certainly the gruesome details were filtered..also for the most part.
But you've entirely 'missed the point' of the media attention to this trial. It was never about Casey in the beginning....it was 'all' about...A MISSING 3 yr.old CHILD called, Caley...from the beginning there was an urgency to get that media attention as she'd been missing for a month! Of course the media's going to get on it, and quickly, and it did just that.
Now step back and think.... The public and the media have interest in cases of missing children...the more media the more chances of finding a child...you should know this as well. They can't do them all but the very urgency of this case drew the rightful attention.
Caley missing had the 'nations' attention...as did the family who were determined, WITH THE MEDIA'S HELP, she would be found....that was until the attention went to Casey being suspect. The media was already going 'full boar' BEFORE Casey was the issue...
so your arguement about the media just flatlined...
Looks like all are out enjoying the festivities now...so I shall say good night....will return after 1:30 tomorrow..PA. time.
HAppy Birthday America!!!!!!! :)
