I think it is unfortunate that she has become a caricature in the press since she became a murder victim. She became the pretty, angelic, pink wearing blonde law graduate that had her short life snuffed out.
I do think she was probably much more than that, she was bright, she was driven, she had a desire to become an attorney defending capital offenders (regardless of whether they were guilty or innocent, she could have looked them in the eye and defended them even if she KNEW they were guilty).
She was likely a complicated real person and not a caricature at all.
bbm: I think your last line likely sums up the truth; but really, I think most who have grown to admire Lauren -- as a real, honest-to-goodness person with strengths and quirks and deep thoughts and lots of pink clothes -- realize that. Maybe some come away from one isolated media report with a caricature-image of her, sure -- but I think, overall, there is a lot of information out there showing that she was probably a complex person -- a bubblier complex person than some complex persons are, perhaps, but complex, just the same.
