Jesse Kornbluth explores how the Internet gets media coverage for a convicted killer:

You don't have a site without a community. Marty has a big one, and it's quite active. Because his site is richly detailed and well-argued, it made its way to many TV outlets. And because there's been an explosion of legal shows on network and cable TV, his case has had hours of prime-time exposure. That has generated more interest. Now you can click on the website and make a donation to Marty's defense fund. No wonder the Times runs regular updates on his efforts to win his release.
