This is something I wrote in NJ while still there the first time. I was thinking of my blog here when I wrote it:
" I cannot tell [you] what it feels like to have a blog one day, and be in the news (your family's tragedy) the next.
To see the papers and feel some peace because your family is not front page in them.
To do a search on your engine for your sister- and get results.
To see public comments to news articles surrounding your sister.
To see comments from your desperately sad brother."
That is all I wrote on that subject at the time. It is still indescribable. I consider blogs to be first and foremost, the new free press. I never did like sensationalism; now I can say I am really against it.
The New York Times got something wrong.
I also realized the other day: it's not over. We have trials to go through. That means more newspaper articles.
The trials are not expected to begin for 1-2 years: court schedules.
