Making murder pay
The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime Into Entertainment and Subverts Justice
by Mark Fuhrman
More than a crime, murder has become big business. An
entire industry depends on the steady drumbeat of horror
that starts up at the first signs that a pretty white girl
is missing. Suddenly, law enforcement's difficult task is
made worse by media carnival barkers who cavalierly tamper
with witnesses, throw up false leads, and corrupt justice
in pursuit of the "story."
(continued from above)
In The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime Into Entertainment and Subverts Justice, renowned former LAPD
detective, Murder in Brentwood author, and current FOX News
crime investigator Mark Fuhrman has written an explosive
exposé of the facts -- actually hidden by much of the media
-- of some of the most riveting murder cases of our time.
Fuhrman reveals:
- How investigators knew Caylee Anthony was never "missing"
-- and how media reports to the contrary prolonged misery
and impeded the investigation
- Who killed Jon Benét Ramsey
- How Scott Peterson almost got away with murder
- Why suspects love sitting down with the media, even as
they avoid police interviews
- Why the media neglect minorities despite higher rates of
minority victims of kidnapping and murder
- How the media could regain its "watchdog" credentials
- The never-before-told full story of the O.J. Simpson
trial -- and why he got off
Mark Fuhrman puts you in the shoes of professional
criminal investigators, walks you through crime scenes with
the penetrating eye of a trained detective, and shows you
the callous irresponsibility and greed of the media that
capitalize on suffering and bull-headedly obstruct justice
in the pursuit of ratings. The Murder Business is a
shocking tale of crime, and the media's interference with
criminal investigators, that will forever change the way
you look at crime reporting.
