Help me out here.... exactly WHY did the Scott Peterson story ever
Advertisements [?]
get legs? As I understand it (and I know almost nothing about it except that it has occupied seemingly thousands of hours of tabloid- and then mainstream-media air), this guy killed his pregnant wife and their unborn baby. Now is that enough to warrant this coverage? Were either of them famous in some way or connected to someone famous? Or is this simply another O.J. deal without the celebrity angle? As I see this story come up on otherwise sober news sites, I just can't fathom the importance, other than pure entertainment and diversion. Can anyone here shed more light on this for me?
