They need to used quotes or “alleged”, since he hasn’t been convicted. Otherwise they could maybe get sued.
Even though he flat-out said it’s not alleged, he did it.
I saw an article that said the judge in the case questioned karmelo’s dad about an incident involving karmelo at school. The article said it was unknown whether Karmelo was a perp, victim, or witness in that incident, but it seems to me that if the reporter was in the courtroom it should have been pretty clear what the incident was about.
A poster here who lives close to the area said that Karmelo’s classmates said he was always looking for a fight. And that would make sense, given his social media posts showing gang signs and himself with firearms.
He confessed to killing the boy. There’s nothing alleged about it.
can they report that he said he did it
