Since journalists are still scum, and the point still stands with all the other examples out there rather than needing to drink from one of the media's poisoned wells, legacy media reporting on this story's been real fucky. They have been super weasely in how they describe the "machete thug", constantly implying he committed murder with elaborate framing.
He was convicted for indirect manslaughter for selling the machete that was used in the murder of a 14 year old. Not a good guy, but all these media rags misframing it seems like a deliberate attempt to give ammo to a Snopes style "False - early release inmate did not commit murder' as a means of discrediting the whole idea that the early releases are a terrible thing.
