That's technically accurate, I said. In fact, it was Thursday through Tuesday, and a judge ultimately said Terryl had been wrongly identified as the assailant. The assault happened at the door of someone's home while Terryl was in another room. If you don't like the impression, don't blame us. Blame the facts.
Journalists often play up negative facts to make subjects look bad.
In this case, ironically, I played up negative facts to make Terryl look good. To show what he'd overcome. But to many folks, it sure didn't come across that way. A different point of view. Still, a part of me didn't understand why Terryl and his mom were so upset.
