It will probably involve an attractive white couple, where the man will be accused of murdering his wife, and she may/may not be missing.

Or it will involve a white family with an attractive daughter who is missing/kidnapped.

Jackson and the pope will be ongoing.

Maybe something about those pesky “activist” judges the extreme right wing has been going on about especially during this Schiavo fiasco.

Already happened. Her name was [Jessica Lunsford](http://jessicamarielunsford.com/).

In light of this, there has been some discussion of new sentencing regulations for sex offenders. It is being called [“Jessica’s Petition”](http://www.protectfloridachildren.com/). That might get some press.
