Who cares? One thing I hate about the press is that every year they latch onto a case and make it a big drama, Murder cases go on almost everyday stuff like this just glamorizes it.

At first I thought the same thing about this case. Why the hell does one murder case get more attention that who-knows-how-many other spouse killings that occur in the U.S. every year?
But it's a compelling human interest story. Peterson had everything that many people dream about ... nice middle class life, a beautiful wife. At least that's the public perception. He could have left his wife if he didn't want to stick around or was afraid that becoming a father would cramp his style. Thousands of men walk away from this kind of responsibility every year. But instead, Peterson whacked the woman who probably adored him. He is nothing more than a murdering, philandering ******.
That's why this case was headline stuff.
