ON TOP OF MULTIPLE MURDER CASES...
This article has at least five slanderous mistakes. I know...I was in the room.
ReplyDeleteDoes the person who wrote the article know that the People can dismiss and refile a felony case? That's what they did in this matter. Some times they might change the charging, but it's not a, for a lack of better words, previous case. Same facts...just charges refiled.
ReplyDeleteDoes the person who wrote this article read? I have followed this case on Chiv's blog and that fact has been stated many times.
DeleteIf there are errors in the report/article, you contact the reporter and give them your information. Reporters are happy to make corrections if they make a mistake, and if your information checks out. Their goal is to provide an accurate account to their readers.

Calling Chiv a report is just wrong. Sure, the site references 30 years as a reporter...but high school newspaper reporters outshine Chiv. It's sad. Poor grammar, spelling errors, and just plan poor writing.
ReplyDeleteChiv doesn't understand the court process and if Chiv is going to cover the court "beat"...should really try to learn instead of being there and trying to find people to mooch off of.
Well, Chiv has a few months and a couple of cases left to play with Elan. After that, he's going to find things a little dry around the courthouse . . . ..
