Why is the Casey Anthony trial a national story?

[Blackjack200]

Is it just because she's hot? I can't think of any other reason. Yes, it's a gruesome crime, but it can't be that unusual for a mother to kill her child. I see it constantly on Google news as one of the top stories... wtf?

 

[highland145]

And the kid was cute.

 

[Wyndru]

It's because she is a hot mess, and everyone loves watching a train wreck.

 

[her209]

Because not everyone wants to see pictures of Anthony Weiner's weiner all the time...

Be glad you don't live in FL. Ever since a couple of years ago the whole thing happened it has been on the news here nearly every day in some fashion. Now with the trail, they have all day coverage of it and their analyst crap afterwards. It is a fucking circus here for it.

Don't bring that shit here, I had to hear about that case everyday for 2 years while living in Orlando. The only interesting thing about it that I remember was when her father chased a bunch of angry residents off his property with a garden hose.

[soulcougher73]

If you are a white cute/hot female and are killed or missing you will make it on the national news level. If you are not white ..good luck.

Sad but true.

It wasn't just b/c she was a decent looking whitegirl... It was also the cold blooded sociopathic nature of the crime, such as how she was partying it up in a club very shortly after knowing the kid was dead.

Yup, and she was also let go (or posted bail) and was re-arrested a number of times too IIRC.

I haven't been following the trial, but I'm surprised she didn't just plead out to get life. No way she doesn't get the needle when convicted.
