It is a spectacle. A spectacle to which only certain demographics of people are able to subject others to.
Show me a distraught and desperate family that is of lower socioeconomic status and/or racial and ethnic minority and I'll show "you" a distraught and desperate family that wouldn't receive as much media attention and definitely wouldn't be able to meet the accused, outside of a courtoom/criminal justice system context, and have it televised.
