Suit claims newspaper wrong on arrest identity
This case must be a problem for the Enquirer. I cannot find the referenced article on thier archive that the suit refers to. My knee jerk reaction to the conspiracy claim about Mr. Williams being tarnished intentionally to reduce his chances to become the new assitant police chieif is to disregard it. I do think this warrents looking into. There is some smoke here, and the source of Jane Prendergast's story is a question that I think needs answering. I do not know how the source shield rule is applied for civil cases, if at all, especially when the source appears to be wrong. I hope the Enquirer releases it soon. The longer they wait the worse it looks. It might just be a case of bad reporting or bad reseach, for which the newspaper should just confess, settle, and get on with their business.
