At the end of a day saturated with talk about justice, this story about a murdered child reduces her life to that of a “habitual runaway who spent time in foster care.” Whether it is police writing reports or reporters repeating it - language matters. cleveland.com/metro/2021/04/…

Yet another example of the important work by my friend and colleague Rachel Dissell and why sex crimes investigations must be given the highest priority. John 'Countdown’ Doe identified as nursing home resident, charged in 7 decades-old rape cases cleveland.com/metro/2019/10/…

Hi @iamsambee Thought you might like this column I wrote about an Ohio woman who has written to Trump nearly every day of his presidency. She's an eloquent critic from the American heartland -- and her dry sense of humor doesn't hurt. cleveland.com/metro/2019/08/…
