Ok to play Devils Advocate on that one particular point (and I've made it pretty abundantly clear where I stand on this case)... I hate to say a good bit of it is money. A "innocent" person wrongly accused plays much better than saying the justice system got it right. For every high profile case there is a wide contingent of people who proclaim the innocence of the accused (Amanda Knox, Troy Davis, Leonard Peltier, Assata Shakur, Mumia Abu-Jamal, etc.) regardless of how much evidence there is to their guilt. My personal opinion while looking extensively really only into the Knox and Peltier case I firmly believe they are both guilty as hell, but search anywhere on the net, even this very site, and you will see I'm at least vocally in the minority. As for WM3 well as big as the supporter movement is, I'd venture to say about 90% of the people over on the WM3.org wall know nothing about this case other than maybe what they saw in PL1 and PL2 (if even that) as we know when there is a cause, no matter what it is, there will be tons of people waiting in line to get behind it.... and the media will be waiting to jump onto to that if it means money or ratings.
