And the entire media coverage on this case since the start has been based upon this being a white child and family. There are thousands of horrid cases of children of color, poor, yes, fat, etc. every year that are hardly covered.
This is awful, but I agree with you and look at all the other cases that gained national attention- Lacy Petersen and Natalee Holloway come to mind. When the Petersen investigation was going on (the bodies were found at the dog park I go to everyday), there was a woman of color's body found (there might have been two- can't recall), and other than a few cursory media spots, nothing was made of that case at all! Not a damn thing! The remains were of a young African American woman. What about her family?
I am shocked by the verdict, however, but wonder if "planting" possible incest and having a jury with 7 women has something to do with it.
This young woman is very disturbed- the whole family is- I hope the hell she doesn't have any more kids.
