Sometimes, I could just bang my head in the wall I get so annoyed with our local press. This is one of those times. I was searching the online addition of the Lima News for a certain story, and had been to every page at least four times, when I noticed a certain name in a story.
The story was hidden in the far column, a little more than half way down the page, and I swear the story on top of it had something to do with a fire department getting some sort of service award.
Of course this annoys me, not just because it is politely tucked out of view, but because it is an important case, and deserves much more of a print up than the two or three lines they gave it. Honestly, they printed a larger article on how the widow of some engineer supports one candidate over another, than this. Not that that isn't important- but I think we all go the point when we read the very same thing in the commentary in the Letter to the Editor that she wrote.
Okay, so I'm not happy. You get that.
It wasn't just a 72 year old woman, it was someone that had a name- Joan Green. She had a family that loved and cherished her. She was an active woman who deserves to get more attention than just being passed off as "a 72 year old woman".
And Tindall? He didn't just murder her, she was sexually assaulted by this juvenile deviant, before he heinously killed her. Ever better, he was in this group home, without anyone's knowledge in the area, for raping a school mate just two years earlier. In fact, he had only been released a few months before the brutal murder of Joan Green.
I've wrote about this brutal crime before, and I'm likely to continue to post this story as it develops.

For those new to the site, or who didn't see it last time it was posted, I am again posting the link to the petition regarding notification of juvenile offenders. Please take the time to sign the petition.

"Attorneys entered an insanity plea for a 16-year-old boy charged with killing a 72-yearold woman after escaping from a group home.
The plea was made Thursday in a motion filed in Logan County Common Pleas Court. Prosecutor Gerald Heaton said the judge would order psychological tests for Christopher Tindall. "

Trying to figure out how the press decides what to cover and what not will drive anyone to hit their head on the wall. That's why it's really up to bloggers like you to get the word out... to speak for the dead.
