Probably would have received more attention but for the Westerfield trial, the Smart case mystery and the focus on Samantha Runnion. Is the Stayner trial receiving any television coverage in CA?
Not that I know of. I'm in Los Angeles and the crime was up north. It was theorized that it was not interesting because we knew all there was to know about Cary Stayner. Clearly, the stuff that has come out in the last few days would belie that. He was such a monster I refuse to follow the case closely.
Far more interesting is a case going on now in San Diego ... the Stephanie Crowe case. She was 12 years old and stabbed to death in her bed. Her 14 year old broher confessed to the crime along with 2 of his friends. No forensice evidence was found in her room.
HOWEVER, later a schizophrenic transient who was combing her neighborhood for an old girlfriend that night was found to have a few drops of Stephanie's blood on his sweatshirt.
So much for the confessions! The perp is now in custody ... very interesting with some weird twists.
