The top three stories on Radio NZ are about her, do we really need this much coverage?

It's high profile because of what she did, not who she is. It happened a couple of years ago but the trial is happening now hence why it's in the media all of a sudden.

It's not that unusual for a case with an alleged multi-murder to be in the media a lot during the trial as new information comes to light. Even so, it has dropped from the top spot now:
