packaged

[Jonathan Lighter]

I hope this means "ideally suited."

A CNN contributor says that the Jodi Arias trial was "packaged for
television."

Neither he nor anybody else has otherwise suggested that the Arizona
justice system has stooped low enough to stage-manage or even simply
advertise the trial to make it irresistible to the news media.

"The Great Gatsby" is packaged. So far, murder trials are not.
