Casey Anthony Trial

Nancy Grace is gonna go ballistic...

the only good thing to come out of this is if Nancy Grace's head explodes and the world would be rid of her

I understood OJ because he was a HOF football player. But I don't understand why so many people were so captivated by this case. It's just another murder trial, one of thousands all over the US each year. Yet somehow the media and so many folks latched onto this and couldn't pull away from it.

Why is this case so special?

I saw this post on another site and it seemed to kind of make sense.

I have avoided pretty much 100% of this case, but what you just mentioned has been somewhat fascinating to me as well. I think this case just kind of *happened* to be the perfect storm of hooks that draw people into becoming emotionally attached to a story.

Like that little baby that fell in the well 20 or so years ago.

Sometimes, the elements are just there and with the right fanning of flames by the media - it just catches on like wildfire :shrug:

Recognizing that you're quoting someone else and may not be equipped to answer this, but what exactly are the elements that make people care about this case more than others? I just can't see it, myself.

Agreed, and I think the fascination with this case is a gigantic waste of time and media resources.

I don't know the facts of the case other than a child was killed and Anthony was accused, so I really can't have an opinion on the not guilty verdict.

The coverage of it all baffles me however.

My friends lazy ass wife sat on her ass for the past month watching this trial. Trials are very slow and boring unless you have skin in the game. I know how she could sit on her ass for that long I don't get how she could watch the trial. She is the poster child of why American's are over weight.

Really? It is not even good.

Depends on how we define good.

I can speak for myself as far as why I was drawn in. I think I got drawn in becasue I have a 3 year old now it is impossible for me to think someone could do this to a child.

Now by drawn in I have watched it out of the corner of my eye. there are folks or should I say moms in my office that have hung on every word of it. I think they are drawn for the same reason I was but more so because they are moms.

I say the same thing about missing children, if you went by the media you think just a handful of kids are taken each year but then you go to the post office and there are a ton of missing kid photo's, why are some blasted on the big screen while others are not even mentioned.

I think in order for it to be wide spread the victims and or the criminals need to be close to your typical American family. The closer they are too the typical American family the more drawn in folks become becasue it becomes a "this could easily happen to me " thing.

As far as OJ he is celebrate so that was easily the draw.

This has always fascinated me.

One thing I heard a while back is this: you almost never hear about stories like this that center around anything but young white females.
