Doubling down on a "non story": Why do people take the time to defend this case?

This case was adjudicated. The game is over. The only people who should be here are nerds like me who are interested in looking at very peculiar and interesting details of the investigation of this case.

Yet, the vitriol is intensifying while nerds and nerdettes take an innocent gander under the rug of Ritz-Urick-Macgillivray circa 1999 regarding a murder case. I mean, it looks like many people are coming unglued by this peekaboo. Why?
