re: #194 Dark_Falcon

It’s not simply a lack of empathy, it really isn’t. Many people, myself included, are deeply skeptical of having a criminal case play out in the press, due to the American news media’s long history of trying to shape opinions and interpretations of cases to fit the interests of media organizations.

Further, with Florida having appointed a special prosecutor many worry that continued press leaks jeopardize the ability of the special prosecutors office to do its job. Those are concerns driven by the interests of justice, not by a lack of empathy.

You and others concerns does not change the fact that the cops failed and THAT is why it’s in the press. Geeze, blame reporting? It’s what saves us when the cops are useless. I want to say bought off, but..
