I agree with you, and I think your points are entirely valid. Now, if only tabloid journalism would submit itself to justice, all manner of ills might be cured...
It's interesting to read this article and wonder where the husband's story has been gone. By carefully eliminating any possibility of sympathising with the victim of the murder, and by introducing fairly spurious ground for doubting the verdirct we're steered carefully towards reaching the writer's conclusion that this woman is innocent, and didn't deserve to be recaptured.
What about her ex-husband's relatives, who have had to live a lifetime knowing the woman that was convicted of murdering their son/brother/father, ran away from justice and never served the punishment for her crime? What are their feelings that the person who had escaped a horrible crime to live a free life has been recaptured? Should they not feel relieved and even happy that a fugitive murderer has been apprehended to serve her time?
Take whichever side you will, and believe what you will. But at the very least acknowledge the victim's side of the story, and that this article was one-sided and emotionally manipulative.
