It’s a horrible thing when a criminal case comes to our attention. First we are appalled, then curious and then … addicted. Take the Scott Peterson trial for example. The press jumped on this case because it happened in Modesto, CA where Rep. Gary Condit lives. They hoped he was somehow involved and could connect this case to that of Chandra Levy. They were wrong. However, the vast news coverage would have subsided on the Peterson case if we, the public, had not wanted to know. There are dozens of husbands accused of killing their wives each year in this country, but few have garnished the notoriety this trial has. It’s only a matter of time until a ton of books about this case flood the market, enabling booksellers to make a fortune.

Other kinds of true crime grab our attention as well; teen killers, bribery, spammers, fraud, hired hits, and bigamy. Perhaps the most intriguing are trials where the accused is acquitted. The Jerry Dean case is a prime example. Jerry Dean was accused of killing a woman who filed a sexual harassment charge against him, but the jury found him not guilty and the case remains unsolved. Another intriguing case is the “Deer Hunters Trial” involving the Duvall brothers who were not prosecuted until many years after the crime. Even after the criminal trial was over, the civil case with the wife of the victim suing the wife of the defendant and a possible new murder connection, kept us glued.

Why are we so addicted? Some think it’s because we just can’t believe people are truly evil enough to commit such crimes. Others think it’s because we all have a streak of evil and wonder where the line is – the line most of us know not to cross. We wonder what snaps, what mental process occurs that allows one person to harm or even kill another. As well, some of us are looking for the perfect crime, the one prosecutors just can’t prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, even though we know the defendant is guilt. Sadly, some of us are addicted because a trial is in our area and touches us personally.

Whatever the reason, we are addicted, and the only cure is to hope someone is writing a book about our favorite case. Ah, it’s music to the bookseller’s ears.
