My point is still valid because how many times have we read news reports where the accused is cuaght on video or has confessed to their actions and the media refers to them as “alleged (insert name of offense here)”? Zimmerman receives no such treatment in this piece.
The "(name of offense here)" is Second Degree Murder. Zimmeman's an alleged murderer, and that's what you'll read in the news report. But he's not an alleged killer. He's admitted killing Martin.
Alleged murderer. Killer, no 'alleged' needed in the media.
