Yes RBD, that is a popular question of late. If the execution was on pay per view, would you watch it. Heck, if it was free would you watch it. Has anyone ever seen that old eighties movie "Death Row Game Show". It was sort of like Fear Factor, but if you failed your stunt you were immediately executed is some bizarre or (amusing) manor. I know it sounds heartless but hey, these criminals are scum bags.

I also agree that the media has gone way too far with this one. Why in the world would this nation need five helicopters flying over the Peterson homestead; a waste of gas if you ask me. I can't imagine what its like for a family of a victim. They can't even go to the store with out bumping into a tabloid at the check out line. It just a constant reminder of tragedy, where in the world does the healing begin. That would probably drive me insane. It’s hard enough to deal with death as it is, why make it any worse for a victim by throwing a Media parade. Yes it is a tragedy, show some respect rather than thinking about ratings. These are people’s lives, not puppets.
My thoughts go out to those families; it just keeps getting worse and worse. Hopefully the healing process can finally begin for Laci's family, after the "Hype" of this has died down of course.
