27. Transfixed

From BBC News (online) 10/2/11, Amanda Knox: What does the future hold?
Tom Geoghegan reports:

 “All the mainstream American media was transfixed by the final verdict, reflecting the huge interest there has been in the US ever since the terrible events at Knox's former home, Via della Pergola 7, in the Umbrian city of Perugia.”


Transfixed: captivated; fascinated

How would you describe your level of attention to this case and the final verdict
