Did I ever say this? .. because I don't believe I did. But if it came off that way, I apologize.

The point is, I get excited over a football game because it's exciting. I get sad over a movie because it's sad. But I can't jump on board with exclaiming, "She's free!" when there's a possibility (even if it's small) that a killer spent only 4 years in jail for a heinous crime.

She's a "poor girl" to me only if she's innocent, and I'll feel "sorry" for her when I'm 100% sure that she didn't kill her roommate.. And that will never happen.

Aren't you kinda doing that yourself here? I mean seriously, unless I'm missing something here who is getting all crazy and over emotional here? Just because someone follows, discusses, comments, or posts about a news story, court case or a current event doesn't mean that they are emotionally vested in it.
I never said I had a problem with following, discussing, commenting, and posting about a news story. I don't have a problem with anything. I'm not even sure where you're getting "crazy" and "over-emotional" coming from me, but that's your opinion.

ETA: perhaps I shouldn't have quoted any comments in my original post.. Or maybe I should have quoted more. But my comments are not only based on what you and one other poster have said.
