That family doesn't seem like they're wealthy.

This aside...doesn't it seem "over-kill" (no pun intended) how the t.v. stations seem to focus so much on the crime and such for their news-stories?? We lived up north and that didn't seem to be so much a factor there. It's almost like a "Cops" show...therefore we rarely listen to the 'news'.

I know that you in TV are getting a lot more coverage because it is close by and frankly because it is news.

But even the Today show has updates on the trial and they usually don't follow local news of trials. I guess it just says that this trial really has drawn the interest of people nationally and my guess is because of all of the video of that darling little person when she was alive. I know that she is "real" to me because of it. What precious, precocious, pretty, sweet little person she was.
