... "Carter was almost 17 when he was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against a 10-year-old girl. He was steadfast in declaring his innocence and refused sex offender therapy, which hurt his chances for an earlier parole. He was released from prison in 2008."
"Police in recent months learned that a man had coerced the girl and her mother to blame Carter for the 1991 assault because of an unpaid debt."
"'Grand Rapids Police Department — they are to blame, not me, not the victims,' Carter said. '... It was your job to figure out did I do it or not, but you didn’t do your job.'" ... |

Why is it so hard to report simply and accurately?
If he was "almost 17" when wrongly convicted, that means he was 16. Why can't you just say:
"Carter was 16 when he was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against a 10-year-old girl." |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
