David Camm Trial

For the last month I had to watch WHAS 11 news at 6:00 every other night. Out of those 10 nights,
David Camm as on the news or either the top story 8 out of the 10 times. The David Camm trial goes all the way back to September of 2000, and is still in the news almost always 13 years later. I think this story is starting to get irrelevant. I mean, does everything that happened with David Camm have to be the top story in the news? This isn't even a Louisville story, so why is it all over the news stations of Louisville? WHAS is violating of the nine core principles of journalism: Making the Important Interesting. They are doing the exact opposite; making the interesting important. The David Camm trial is basically over, so we do not need to keep seeing it in the news every week.
