One of the factors is that Florida has strong sunshine/public record laws which make police records more available to the Press and the public.
Florida probably doesn't have more crazies than say west virginia or Nevada. Just picking random states here. 8)
But what it does have are the most transparent sunshine laws of any state. Which basically means more details about each individual crime are available than you normally see elsewhere.
So a lazy journalist struggling to meet a quota on a slow news week (do those exist anymore?) Need only do a bit of googling to find something to write about.
