It's a Murder, Not a "Sex Slaying"
Categories: Crime
The Chronicle gets the Dubious Headline of the Day award. Reads the home page of the newspaper's online incarnation : Conviction In Nurse Sex Slaying. The story reports the arrest of John Puckett in the 1972 murder of nurse Diana Sue Sylvester who was sexually assaulted, strangled, and stabbed to death. After clicking on the salacious link, the reader is taken to the actual article with the more appropriate headline, Sex offender, 74, conivted in 1972 murder. Repeat after me: sexual assault is not sex. –Andy Wright
