I was wondering as well over the past couple of weeks why this case has gripped the attention of so many. I self-centeredly thought it only captured the attention of those of us in the states, but seeing Bibi's post proved that thought wrong. I was thinking last night of the young woman in Utah that was murdered this summer and was curious if her husbands trial would gather this much attention as well. If I recall correctly she was also rumored to be pregnant at the time of her murder, though she was not as far along in her pregnancy as Laci.

The thing that irritates me the most about this whole situation is many taxpayer dollars have already been sucked up in this case, and will continue to be as Scott sits waiting for appeal after appeal or his day to come up on Death Row. Somehow it doesn't seem just that he has all of lifes necessities provided to him at our expense. I understand that his quality of living will not be one that I would ever choose, but it is us taxpayers that will support him for the rest of his life.
