Is Scott Peterson Worth All This Attention?

  Author:  1225  Category:(Debate) Created:(12/16/2004 2:03:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (1418 times)

My question is: with thousands of people being murdered world-wide every day, what makes this particular case so appealing? Couldn't the fifteen minutes consumed by this on the nightly news braodcast be better spent on something with wider ramifications like, say for instace, the war? Or the Middle East?

Date: 12/16/2004 2:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 36967    I cannot argue with you there.  
Date: 12/16/2004 2:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 48809    Personally, I think one of these subjects is just about as gloomy as the other.  
Date: 12/16/2004 2:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 62915    Isn't it funny how you make a post like this and you contradict yourself because in doing it you are bringing attention to it? Not criticsing just pointing out LMAO! Ghost-chick  
Date: 12/16/2004 2:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    If you are against abortion he is worth it. I think this case is the stepping stone to making abortion illegal. To answer the question no he isnt worth it but Laci and Conner are.  
Date: 12/16/2004 4:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 62383    I just think is sad, cuz this kind of thing prob happens all the time, but this one just got on the news.  
Date: 12/16/2004 4:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 60992    Well I think the Middle East has enuff news being covered on it and I'm Canadian. We have lots of Middle East war stuff on the news and personally I'm tired of hearing about places being blown up and more people dying. No amtter what theres always gonna be people dying just diff situations bring the attention..

Date: 12/16/2004 4:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 10798    Well, it was a terrible crime, but he was convicted on circumstantial evidence and I don't believe he should have gotten the death penalty....life in prison, yes; but just in case he didn't do it and down the road they find the real killer they should have given him life.  
Date: 12/16/2004 4:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 63010    i say who kares hes getting put to death and thats his falt so ya Smelly Solder
Date: 12/16/2004 7:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 12118    It's just interesting because it's happening within our own country, he got caught doing something bad, and he's going to get punished for it. Did he get death? I haven't heard anything about it lately  
Date: 12/16/2004 7:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    I've been following this case from the beginning. I think what draws every in is that he killed and disregarded so many things that most humans holds sacred......a pregnant wife, his first born child, Christmas Eve, marriage and the opportunity for her family to bury her and Connor appropriately. This case just struck too many nerves and hearts, in TOO many places.  
Date: 12/16/2004 7:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    Everytime I see pictures of Laci, I start to tear up...she is worth the attention and so was Connor. Now that there's been some resolution, I pray that the Rocha's and Scott's family can find some peace.  
Date: 12/16/2004 9:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 18928    Laci and Conner are worth it. I think the fact that someone that both of them were supposed to be able to look to for comfort, harmed them is part of the facination  
Date: 12/16/2004 10:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 62752    well court tv picks cases like that, my cousins husband's dad killed his mother, and it was on court tv, and there are murders all the time in FL, they just pick certian cases, who knows but it was weird watching them on court tv  
Date: 12/17/2004 8:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 59163    of course hes not worth the attention. and the war gets 90% of all news coverage so dont bring up that old BS line. hes getting so much coverage because the week the *expletive* hit the fan was a very slow news week. the networks have just be beating the dead horse ever since. let me break some other headline news for you. these kinds of crimes happen ALL the time.  
Date: 12/17/2004 9:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 22080    thats the reason, the politicians dont want to talk about the war, its not a good thing to tack onto you is the image of war. do you think bush wants people seeing how he sends all these guys into combat just to die?  
Date: 12/17/2004 9:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 59163    yea, my friend in samarra is chatting to me on yahoo. right now. oh no!! hes getting killed!! jestr, learn how to read statistics and watch the news. the majority is war  
Date: 12/17/2004 3:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 47218    I've been asking that SAME question from the beginning. Not that it isn't very tragic and that my sympathies aren't with the family, but if you think about all the murders that occur in this country on a daily basis, and how often women, especially batterred women, are murdered by their spouses, and I'm sure there's been some pregnant women in there, it makes you wonder...what's so special about this particular case that it should receive national attention over everyone else? My only answer is that the media occassionally seeks these types of sensational stories just so they can get the public's attention and boost their ratings. (and Ghost Chick, I don't think this post is a contradiction at all. It's simply voicing the puzzlement that some of us our feeling in the face of all this hoopla)  
Date: 12/17/2004 5:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 53284    His day has passed. He will live in his walkin closet sized room for the rest of his life. It will be boring as possible. Soon, the media will no longer put him on the news. He will fade to nothing. Of course you will have your demented women who want to marry him while he is in jail.  
Date: 12/25/2004 5:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 4144    scott peterson is not worth all the attention but laci and connor is.
