How depressing. This is the headline on a story in the Michigan City News-Dispatch, a newspaper I worked at for eight years: "Former fugative gets jail time." We knew how to spell better than that when I was there, honest we did. And the story reveals that the man was discovered and hauled in after12 years on the run. I guess technically he was a"former" fugitive at the time of his sentencing, but that still seems redundant to me. Oh, well.
