I think CNN just chose to make it look difficult.

I can’t imagine it would have beeen terribly difficult to have concentrated on the long road ahead for the victim and her family, and how the victim might feel some small measure of comfort to see some justice done after all the negative attention heaped upon her by her attackers’ supporters.

I expected their sort of reportage from Fox News, but not from CNN, and from a female anchorperson and a female reporter no less.
