Actually a good proportion. possibly most, of the mail he gets is from people appalled that he was convicted despite the actual evidence in this case. They see it as one of the worst of the many miscarriages of justice in US history (and that's a very long list indeed). “Even Scott Peterson, the man who killed both his wife and child-to-be, found love in prison.”

I read an interesting article paralleling this to the female fascination with having a vampire lover, so does it break down the ultimate bad boy attraction or is it something else? Another one that really does it for me is Sylar on NBC's "Heroes" something about that character really creeps me out but once again simultaneously arouses me. I believe, just with my interest in psychology, that Hybristophilia is in some level present in most women with greatly varying degrees. For example I highly doubt that as a happily married woman I would ever send love letters to a serial killer but I would say that the aforementioned characters do super charge some of my sexual fantasies and or dreams. And it's pretty safe to say that just about everyone woman I know has had a crush on a bad boy at sometime in their life. Oddly enough I would say that it took me a second to adjust to the idea that I thought someone so violent was so extremely attractive to me, so for some it my just be the idea of the forbidden. On another note you should check out "True Blood". Eric the thousand year old viking vampire is another great example for me, in the fact that not is it just because he's attractive and a vampire but a viking; a stereotype that conjures ideas of violence and savagery.
