Courier-Journal's mistake twisted into police scrutiny

Couple of points

Well, she doesn't have standing to sue anyway, I assume she isn't the deceased's next of kin. And I don't think a lawsuit based upon a smile would work, and I know a lawsuit against the CJ wouldn't either, they've fought that battle before - and in that case, they printed the photo intentionally!

As for smiling at the scene, I wonder if anyone caught the entire interview on tape? If so, how many times did SHE smile - or one of her cohorts in the background? I didn't see the footage, I don't watch TV news much, but given what has happened in similar interviews, I suspect she smiled, laughed, when she didn't think the camera was pointed her way!

First if the lady officer was talking to another employee whether she was 15-20 feet away are 2inches away that is every unprofessional. And just think if that was one of your family memebers and you had to see this ********** in the papers. That was disrespectful to the man that died and to his family. Money ain't everything... Did you see the man officer that was in the picture that was standing right in front of the body smiling? Basically we don't have an opinion until we are in that place, but you have no heart to say something like that.. think before you speak.
