I will never buy a book or go to a movie about this trail. However there are millions of sheep in this country who will. It will be a best seller and a block buster movie. So very sad but so true.

I always take what you post very seriously. You are thoughtful and wise and always fair.
I think that this trial has captured our attention because the behavior exhibited by this mother is so uncommon and so unusual and so twisted that we cannot believe what we are seeing. Thank heavens, it is unusual. AND it is.
Because this is such a big country, and because of the technologies now present, every bad thing that happens can be shared by the global community.
I hope that doesn't mean it happens more, but just that we know more about it.
There are some good reporters and some stations that are far more likely to give us news that is valid and carefully researched and is not AS sensational. We know where to turn the knob for "bombshell tonight". And we still do sometimes, people being people.
I hope our granddaughter will find a job writing the news ethically and fairly and without exploitation, as she has been trained.
