An article distributed by Canadian Press news service on the controversy over whether to make public videotapes of the interrogation of Robert Pickton, a Canadian pig farmer accused of murdering at least six women, quotes David Schmid, professor of English and the author of "Natural Born Celebrities: Serial Killers in American Culture." "I think the market for these types of things have reached the saturation point," Schmid said. "The Pickton trial is in competition with every multiple homicide trial that gone before it." The article appeared in about 15 Canadian news outlets, including Macleans. Go to article.
