Just to say, I did not see William's post before I posted my response about Jamie Satterfield possibly writing a book on the case.
I am glad she is writing the book, I had hoped she would. She has been covering that case for years and I honestly believe that no one else could write it better than she can.
I will be buying a copy when it comes out.
I am also sad that this case and the subsequent re-trials because of
Judge Baumgartner's addiction did not receive a fraction of the publicity that the Arias Trial got.
The murder of Channon and Chris was probably the most heinous case that I have ever heard of and coupled with the legal problems after the conviction's, down to Judge B's addiction, heaped more misery and injustice on to those poor families IMO.
I wish this had had more publicity nationally and internationally, because I honestly believe that the legal system (and one Judge's action's and another's decision's in particular) not only failed the Newsom and Christian families but caused much more hurt and misery. I know that people who had heard of this case were absolutely outraged, but I wish the media would have picked up on this case much more and demanded answer's from the relevant agency's as to why those families had to go through this all again.
Whilst I do believe in the right to a fair trial, IMHO in this case the pendulum of justice and dencency seemed so skewered towards the perp's rights, whilst the families right's and feelings were sorely neglected and ignored.
I mean really.....excluding some of the victim photographs from the Thomas trial?! They did this to them, the jury should have seen every single one of them! :maddening:
