22. This trial not worthy of attention

I kept seeing the headlines for weeks and weeks before I even knew what the case was about and after I did, I still didn't understand why all the major nightly recap. This is a garden variety crime about a pissed off woman killing her boyfriend who didn't want to be with her anymore. The rest is the media, which isn't supposed to go all tabloid, writing their own screenplay about a real life tragedy, which for the family of the victim it certainly is. The massive attention is stupid and after this I plan to continue to ignore it completely. Just don't give a damn and I don't understand why anyone outside of those directly affected by the crime are caring about this trial.
