News on the March: Scott Peterson
Thank God that's over with.
Now that America's least-favorite husband and father, Scott Peterson, will be heading off to San Quentin to (some day) face death by lethal injection, we can finally put that vile tale behind us and concentrate on the real news -- the important news -- of the day.
News! On the March!

What would we do without creep-to-creep trial coverage to entertain and take our mind off the real worries of the world? Excellent blogging Chase.
First, I like your "real news" link. Very sad but true. Second, is anyone else nauseated by cheers when a jury decides to recommend the death sentence? I have mixed feelings about the death penalty. But no matter what your opinion, isn't cheering the news rather gross? What kind of sick freaks do that? I can imagine grim satisfaction from relatives of victims perhaps, but whooping and hollering? Ick.
These over-covered/hyped media trials are not real to most people. The fact is most occur in California and are nothing more than reality tv shows. Very often the victim(s)' families are as much to blame as anyone for participating in the carnival (Goldmans)
Scott Peterson deserves the death penalty for what he did, but that doesn't mean we had to watch it.
As much of a first amendment advocate I am, I can't support tv cameras in the courtroom. The public's right to know does not include gavel to gavel coverage brought to you by Budweiser, the King of Beers..
The Peterson trial was brought to us by a Blackberry. Court TV used e-mail to quote what was being said in the courtroom all day long.

In your dreams, Chase McInerney, in your dreams. Every breath of this man's life through the endless appeals, his days on death row - his letters home - right down to his last meal (yes - some people are interested in that) are going to be on the Abram's Report right after the Michael Jackson update evry freakin' night for the rest of our lives.
