Here's a news story.

Note that the guy had outstanding warrants at the time of his arrest. This ties in to the jail post, below; although he's not from Washtenaw, clearly there weren't enough resources to nab him on one of the warrants before he killed Ms. Tooles.

If he didn't have the warrants, I wonder if he would have stopped to help the woman...possibly saving her life? You're right, if he was caught before this, it probably would not have happened.
Why do we have to get our news 1st from TV stations 40 miles away and blogs then have it regurgitated on local "news" radio?

Some stories that surface, concerning AA-Ypsi, never appear in local papers at all; it's the weirdest thing. I have to start paying more attention to what doesn't get covered locally.

You could devote an entire blog to newsworthy stories that never make it into the press. Both Alternet and Project Censored issue "Top Censored News Stories" lists each year, one in book form.

That's a good tip, Dan Arbor--I'll see if I can dig those up. Thanks.

Lies for sale: well, sometimes, perhaps; depends on the source I guess.

To tie two posts together, the suspect in the Whittaker Rd. killing is now being kept in the Wash. jail, says the AA News.
