[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today Oscar Pistorius sentenced to 6 years for killing his girlfriend (3 years after the fact!)  Will anyone remember after tomorrow? Where are the follow up stories on Casey Anthony? Robert Blake?[/quote]

There have been many stories on Casey Anthony--a fairly obscure woman (before her daughter's murder) with a "sketchy" history-- and the death of her daughter, a truly precious, innocent child. There's just no way though that most people in this country would have the interest in her case that they did in OJ.  From a very impoverished background, he was a handsome, wealthy incredibly fantastic football player and famous through TV and the movies. It was shocking to think he was also a murderer.[/quote]

I think pp's point is that only one of these examples of getting away with murder still gets people riled up[/quote]

It's not just interest - that trial pitted blacks against white in the US in a tangible and very real way. It wasn't just about OJ, it was about the criminal justice system, racial relations and served to show the real fissures in our society that had been glossed over.[/quote]
