[Jack Jones]

What drives me nuts is that, because of media attention, people have come to call them Scott, Laci, and Connor as if they were their next-door neighbors. I call my friends by their first name; Mr. Peterson is not, nor could ever be, a friend of mine. Although the murder of Mrs. Peterson was tragic, it was no more tragic than the death of the 1,400 women who were killed by their husbands since then. The shock that the baby went unborn should pale in comparison to the 4,000 who were aborted since yesterday.

Peterson was a cad who became a celebrity because he was suspected of brutally killing his wife and unborn son. Let’s face it! He was convicted of being a capable of doing the deed, not because of any compelling forensic evidence. On the other hand, O. J. Simpson was a celebrity who was suspected of brutally killing his wife and her lover. Let’s face it! He was acquitted, in spite of overwhelming evidence, because 12 people liked him, or at least felt his pain. I do not see justice being served in either case. When the media takes hold, truth, justice, and the American way suffers the consequence.
