Spin

Factually, a few years ago, a woman named Sarah Brady stabbed to ultimate death a woman named "Sarah Brody." I've heard about this incident twice in about a week.

The first time I heard about it was on a show named "I'd Do Anything for a Baby" or "I'd Kill For a Baby." On the program, the spin was that "Brody" (not her real name; she'd only made it up to establish a connection with Brady) had been lying about being pregnant (as disturbed women can sometimes do) and in order to make the illusion real, had lured Brady to her apartment in order to steal the full term fetus. The show glossed over any possibility of wrong-doing on the part of Brady and she simply went on to live her life.

The second time I heard of this was on a show called "Snapped" which documents women who have murdered. The premise is that something makes her snap and kill. The featured woman is almost always found guilty in court. The spin they seemed to be putting on it was far from what the above program was getting at. "Snapped" even stated that Brady's family assumed she was trying to sell her unborn kid! The show also talked about how she almost went to trial for murder. Then they got to the truth of the matter.

That "Brody" chick would do anything for attention. She claimed her first pregnancy at age 14, and all of her fictional pregnancies went full term only to end with miscarriage. Pfft. She had her father convicted of molestation. (Incidentally, I knew a girl who did that to her innocent father, too. It caused her entire family to fall apart, of course.) She was insane.

So, the point is, that crazy people are out walking around.
