Several moving parts to this answer...first the story is actually 3 parts...missing child, childs death and mother's arrest, and the trial. It plays like a book, each section with its perfect creshendo of drama. Second are the players...the innocence of a beautiful child, the all-american-suburbean girl-next-door, and the disfunctional family. All these players can be easily related to most americans. Lastly, our tabloid, explotive culture which is media driven in ratings and advertsing. Information and opinion is presented 24/7/365 in multi access vehicles...tv, internet, phone, radio blah blah blah.
I havent followed the story, but good lord I cant avoid it either.
