I'm surprised there aren't any seriously good crime reporters, who cover these stories in a way like City Confidential did their shows or how Dominic Dunne did,in real time, where you get the all of the local background and color on a case, with who thinks what, who says what, etc. I can very much see how something like the rodeo & ranch community might circle the wagons to defend and even protect someone who's one of them. They think they know him. They didn't know Kelsey. They're going to give him the benefit of doubt. Just from a psychological standpoint, I find that interesting and would love some on the ground reporting from places like the local coffee shop or greasy spoon.
