I still don't see what's so compelling about this case and turn the channel whenever it's mentioned.
That goes for the Kobe vs. Katelyn case too.
Well--*yawn*, why don't you save your time and energy, and not read the threads about it either.
Who's Kobe? Just kidding. He's the baseball player that was accused of raping some high school kid I believe.
Anyway, Like you, I scan past stuff that isn't geopolitical (or local) in nature, or just plain interesting - like the guy who bbq'd his kitty. But murder and rape cases are things I see as "jerry springer" stuff (unlike the aforementioned kitty thing of course) and they fall off my radar.
I knew there was a Peterson guy in the news but wasn't sure what it was about, although I suspected he was accused of murdering someone. But without some sinister link, like he was a creationist that killed an evolutionist or something like that, it just isn't that interesting to me - unless the USSC is hearing it for some reason.
