For my sins I have access to Fox news and have such have followed the Scott Peterson Trial and also seen the sometimes hysterical coverage. My question is this, Why are people so obsessed with this trial.

There are Bigger Liars than SP

There are murderers who have been more cruel

There are Murderers who have more victims

Why has this case become what in some quarters could be considered a national obsession

i believe it is the symbolism which struck a chord in people...heavily pregnant lovely young woman is missing on Christmas Eve, then it escalated from support for her husband to a veritable soap opera of duplicity and diverse personalities...the parents, the mistress, the lies...not sure there has ever been a bigger liar!

Ladycop I reckon Bundy must have been pretty close in the Liar stakes, although I grant you he did not have St Amber of Frey the patron saint of breastfeeding.

do not even start me on saint amber! there is a female who gave a virtual stranger access to her little girl. from an LE point of view very stupid and negligent. but hey she breastfeeds! LOL. .. as to ted bundy...he was not a liar in this sense. he was a very frank stone killer with no embellishments. he killed strangers. a true serial killer.
