and media fuck this up all the time. i once heard a meat puppet refer to the "alleged death" of a murder victim. the girl was a captive. there has been a manhunt to find her. the manhunt found her. no alleged necesary. now answer my question. if CNN made reference to Booth, do you think they should hve to use the "alleged" qualifier?
