Americans are obsessed with true crime because it draws strong emotions from the audience and pulls on your "heart strings." People feel the need to sympathize for people they don't know. Killings spark an American want for a unified people who stand against crime. Murders allow for people to see that life isn't what it is thought out to be. They see that in just an instance you and your loved ones lives can be changed. Now must of the time people feel for the ones who have been murdered but in some cases, like In Cold Blood, some people feel for the killers. The Americans who sympathize for killers might have the same problems that drive the killers to do what they do. They understand the reasons why someone would do such a thing. It is hard for one to sypathizes just with the killers or just with the ones being killed because there are many sides to a story and killing that require you to check your beliefs and you have to choose who fits them the most and what story makes you feel that the right things have happened. In, In Cold Blood, I side with the family because I believe they were murdered for an invalid reason and they were taken of life in an unfair way.
