Summary | Nowadays, the perfect crime seems to be the one that is retransmitted live. Does that mean that fame triggers more violence? Social media have changed a lot of things, and one of them is the chosen way to commit a murder. Indeed, it seems that the need for public display generated some changes in people's life, relationships and egos -which anyone can see- but also an incitement to murder. Would the Cleveland murder have happened without Facebook live?
