Is 68 considered “elderly” these days?

Brown was found Sunday, a day after the killing, at a nearby residence, according to a criminal complaint. She was covered in blood, urine and feces, it said.

From the article ...

Since the source is Roto-Reuters, we should assume that important facts are missing.

Nineteen is considered a teen? She’s an adult.

Sounds like this may be a legitimate case for an insanity defense.

Yes, I know she is technically a teenager but it really insults my intelligence when news media refers to 18-19 year old adults as "teens" as if they're still children.

Well which is it? black or white? The headline implies the perp is black. The article implies white.
