Back in 2011 a pretty little girl was kidnapped. Her name was Holly Bobo. She was 20. Very pretty little thing. They didn't immediately find a body or who took her. They finally stumbled across part of her remains in '14 or '15. Now they are holding a trial for who they think did it.

The Woman's sister told the Woman that the trial was on TV on an alternative channel to on of the main stations in town. The Woman suggested we watch part of it. I found it and put it on. It took about 5 minutes and we were hooked. Damn! When they court goes out for lunch or a 15 minute pee break the TV channel goes to these two guys covering the trial. They talk about what just happened, what is likely to happen next etc.etc.

One of the stranger things I heard them say...Let's go to the phones. Phones? Oh yea, people call in and offer up their opinions. Really?

I have to say it is fairly interesting to see the process of trying a major case. I would never dream of calling in to discuss what I thought because I don't particularly care past, I hope the fry the right person. But people call in. They sit there watching with such intensity that they form an opinion they deem worthy of discussion and call in to voice those opinions.

Apparently these TV personalities, who are or have been lawyers, cover any major trial that allow camera's in the court and they have a pretty large following who regularly call in. A new subculture that watches these things like a hawk...formulate opinions and call in to discuss them. Some, to my surprise, are pretty intellectual. Others, well, put yer teeth in befer you call in to.
