Hopefully, some of that stuff will come out in the court case and the internal investigation (I don't think anyone in the media has obtained any info from those interviews yet) and get the attention it deserves.

However, I wouldn't describe it as "hype". Focusing on the murderer first is justified. This is huge in terms of affirming the rule of law. It's very rare for an officer to be charged with murder for killing someone while on duty, no matter how egregious the circumstances.
