And now I just read your second response. A little rough, but I got a kick out of it nonetheless. What is wrong with some people?
At the risk of offending, I don't know, almost everyone? I am in the distinct minority of those with an interest in true crime, in that I'm male. Combine that with the stereotype of men (myself included) preferring to read non-fiction while women prefer pulp fiction (romance novels, and the like). So, what is it about true crime that attracts some people's interest? Based upon the nature of the comments, combined with what I just noted above, it seems that a rather significant percentage of women who follow true crime don't think of it as real people facing real prison time, but more like Fabio and the rest of the dime store novel genre. Then when they dislike someone (usually the accused), they are ready to throw them in prison, and sometimes their defense atttorneys as well for daring to do their jobs. It is as if the whole thing is a game of Clue come to life, without actual consequences. Meanwhile, some of us (women included, obviously) actually appreciate basic Constitutional concepts such as "presumption of innocence" and the Sixth Amendment ("and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence"). What a concept, right?
