I think this as well. I also think it morphs into the rich somehow deserve it argument and we love to see them fall, on all levels, not just the murder of an innocent girl. I think many Americans were digusted by the whole pageant idea and the odd images of that little girl looking so adult. I think that image made them think Patsy was wholly to blame for the murder because Patsy's vehemence in putting her daughter in those shows (which are not cheap) somehow made her responsible for the girl's death. I think the two are unrelated, but people seem keen of making a connection of some kind. I do get that the murderer could have been enticed by seeing her in a show, but he could just as easily have seen her in the park, grocery store, etc. - which sadly happens often.

As for this guy, he seems way too content right now and until we see the evidence (which is all that is important in this case) we will not know for sure. Given that this creep has stalked anyone and everyone even remotely related to this case, I get the feeling that he obtained some non-public information and is using that to accept blame for a crime he did not commit. I mean how was putting a rope around her neck an accidental killing?

It just does not add up. But, there was DNA under her nails. So, maybe that will be dispositive.
