A young man I knew, was murdered 5 days ago. When our paper reported on it, they listed his criminal history. Even provided a link to look up details. I isnt that its not true, its more that why hurt and embarass the family during their time of grief. Plus, HE was the VICTIM! My opinion is they should have waited to bring it up. It will all be evidence at trial anyway.should ve let the family grieve. What do you think?

Thank you. The young man was my nephew. It is just really sad that the negative part of a person is what sells . He was troubled as much as in trouble. He also had small girls that he left behind. I still think that there is a time to bring out past offensives. Just not on the day his family buries him. I believe this for anyone.

Let the past go and go on. My past is over and done with and I'm getting on with today and the future. I lived in NM years ago and that's one part of my past I wish had never ended.

I grew up in Farmington, and now read the local paper on line all the time (not everyday). I have noticed that this type of reporting is the norm for them. I read in the paper last month were an inmate hung himself and the paper did the same thing and reported his criminal history. I could see them reporting why he was in jail this time, but nothing else was necessary in reporting his death.

The media and the Justice system can be ignorant at times. Let's hope your nephew is in a better place. You seem like a nice lady. Don't waste your time with the law or the media.
