oh I'm sure we'd hear about how racist the media is LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 06/07/2011 04:22:08 PM
I'm not saying that the news outlets probably don't have reasons that they mostly show cases like this involving white women, but I agree with Ghav that the trend is still there.

Really, I think it just comes down to the fact that the media has stopped actually just reporting the news and has basically made news shows into the next big reality show :rolleyes: If they just reported the news objectively and without this ridiculous circus show they spin everything into, people probably wouldn't give a rat's batoodie.

I can tell you exactly why a jury didn't find her guilty of perjury, child neglect etc: Joel - 06/07/2011 12:04:12 AM 1029 Views
she was found guilty of 7 counts of lying to the Authorities Aisha - 06/07/2011 12:10:03 AM 841 Views
Then she'll do some pretty hard time. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:17:22 AM 811 Views

Did you spend 8 hours a day for a month going thru the evidence? *NM* Urza - 05/07/2011 11:36:03 PM 383 Views

I would have to side with the jury on this one. As much as I think she did it, I could not have Tashmere - 06/07/2011 12:18:05 AM 716 Views
I cannot begin to express how little I care. Ghavrel - 06/07/2011 01:07:48 AM 750 Views
I would like to say the same. Tashmere - 06/07/2011 01:21:36 AM 1012 Views

In a word, yes. Joel - 06/07/2011 12:27:37 PM 1046 Views
except it does apply. LadyLorraine - 06/07/2011 02:43:08 PM 921 Views
I agree, but what if the accused was of a different race/ethnicity? Avendesora - 06/07/2011 02:55:22 PM 837 Views
oh I'm sure we'd hear about how racist the media is LadyLorraine - 06/07/2011 04:22:08 PM 971 Views
I agree, which is why I watch very little tv lately. *NM* Avendesora - 06/07/2011 04:23:23 PM 438 Views
Except in this case it doesn't. Joel - 06/07/2011 05:04:36 PM 879 Views

I agree. j-whitt987 - 06/07/2011 04:38:46 AM 935 Views
VERY wrong place. . *NM* Avendesora - 06/07/2011 02:52:21 PM 451 Views
Nope. I didn't think she was guilty of 1st degree murder. Nobody is to blame but the prosecutors... everynametaken - 06/07/2011 04:37:39 AM 921 Views
she did claim the death was an accident and she was found not guilty of manslaughter as well *NM* random thoughts - 06/07/2011 12:56:18 PM 452 Views
I thuught they would have had to charge her with that in order to convict her of it? everynametaken - 07/07/2011 02:37:53 AM 654 Views
They did charge her with it random thoughts - 07/07/2011 02:48:51 PM 882 Views
Yes, I didn't realize that was once of the charges. *NM* everynametaken - 08/07/2011 03:32:11 AM 302 Views
The case should never have gone to trial Ryan - 06/07/2011 07:28:44 AM 899 Views
I don't think they proved murder random thoughts - 06/07/2011 03:30:04 PM 747 Views
It's sad that so many people care so much about this case. Palatine - 06/07/2011 04:40:50 PM 716 Views
