Another important thing to note besides what has been said is that this is on US national news with regular updates. We had another high profile case in Massachusetts a few years back (Karen Read) and all this true crime spectacle seems to boil down to misogyny. Chuds and libs rally behind the cops and institutions of punishment, missing the point. These should have never been spectacles, but they demonstrated the corruption of the MA state police and general social evil of suburbia respectively. Their reveling itself is a symptom. The true crime pods and boomers watching evening dose of events in 90s Russia on the news are all symptoms.
