>Why are the Petersons on the US news so often? I even would get some coverage on them over here in the ME, and have never understood why this murder case was on international or national news. Do you know? One, they chose to bring the press in... they were holding press conferences nearly every single day. Two, there's a political issue here -- Lacey Peterson was eight months pregnant, and the unborn baby died as well, and as such, it was a double homicide case. If that baby was murdered, then is abortion not murder? >It reminds me of the case from a few years ago where the little girl of the couple vanished, and for a while they suspected the couple, but the couple was never prosecuted. The were in Denver or Colorado or somewhere around there - can't recall the name of the family, but it also was (for some reason completely unknown to me) on national news very, very often. Again, totally white middle class family. That case (Jon-Benet Ramsey) had the additional twist that the girl involved was a young beauty pageant queen. I don't think race has as much to do with it as you think; class, probably moreso. -Z
