I must have missed the importance of the murder trial

[Deuxcents]

Being broadcasted on almost all the cable n network channels. Why? Is this an important person? Are there no other issues for the media to be covering?

1. Lifestyles of the Rich and Powerful

Like a deadly real life soap opera.

2. A rich white southerner kills wife and son

Ha - do you expect them to be praising Biden for reduced insulin prices?

[Walleye]

3. Probably because the state law allows cameras in the courtroom

Courtroom drama always sells

4. From everything I heard in clips, this man lost it.

His financial problems, his drug usage and the burden of his son's reckless disregard for human life and his wife forcing him to shovel horseshit finally got to him. He snapped and didn't do a great job of hiding all the tell tale signs, where he was at the time of the murders.

5. Free content that fills time

What's not to like?

They can fill hours of time and don't have to pay ANYONE.

6. Morbid curiosity. nt

7. I see. Thought maybe something worth the coverage.

I’m doing some spring cleaning n catching up on South Park. All mindless tv 🤪

8. Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

12. 'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

9. It's What We Do

because we don't have royalty to kick around.

10. It is such a perfect example of the effects of multi-generational corruption

and it will be an absolute travesty of justice if the man is not found guilty of murder.

It’s a case that will be studied by law students from here on out because it is so complex and unique. I can totally understand why some don’t see its significance or write it off as a trivial media feeding frenzy but it deserves the attention it’s getting.

14. That's the best analogy Ive heard. Ty

11. I do not give a darn about this murder trial

[AZSkiffyGeek]

13. Because people are watching it

If people don't tune in, then TV stations don't cover things.
I've managed to not see a single minute of this trial. It's pretty easy.
There is an easy solution if you don't want to see it, but apparently a lot of people's TVs aren't able to change channels, so they post about how awful it is that something they don't want to watch is on TV.

15. If it bleeds it leads.

17. White southern male with shady past might just get away with it. Because male.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. This trial is over

[gratuitous]

19. Well, the price of eggs has come down

And that was The Most Important Issue in the Country for a few weeks.

[Raine]

20. I never got into it

I might have but it had already started and I didn't have the interest to try and catch up.

21. It's unusual for someone who kills their family like this to go to a trial.
