It’s not so much that it 'S' was printed, it’s that it was printed without any dissenting opinion whatsoever. Even though the “suspect” has refused to defend himself in the public forum, the reporter should have stepped in and done a little research to find other possibilities to the “evidence.” Nowhere in the article was it mentioned that the mattress itself . does not belong to the man.
