wtf is that headline?
- Straight from AP.
  
  Yes, I'm criticizing the AP for not mentioning the man's innocence or lack of evidence and non-recanted witness statements.
  
  Agreed, the headline makes it sound like the family was being merciful despite his conviction. Nope, Missouri just lynched a man.
