This article contains the following lie:
"Woodward, who graduated from Norwich Free Academy, had a history of mental illness."
Woody did graduate from Norwich Free Academy, but he had NO history of
mental illness.

Does not break story of JFW's charges of corruption
of state officials, describing JFW's criticism only as
"what they perceive as unanswered questions and omissions."
Features Chief Martin's latest campaign to convince
the public that the shooting was justified --
centering on the victim's knife
(it was, according to Martin, searrated, which made
it "an exceptionally deadly knife".)
Harassment of Justice for Woody by passenger in Parker's
cruiser is mentioned.

Quotes several excerpts from JFW objstruction of justice document.
Gives a brief account of the march.
Most complete coverage of JFW's charges of corruption by
in Vermont state officials of any article to date.

Covers Faxon's announcement about the probable March commencemnt
of the civil trial, while avoiding mentioning JFW's charges
of obstruction of justice.
Mis-quotes Mary as saying purpose of Brattleboro march was to
highlight Sorrell's report,
when in fact it was to highlight JFW's corruption charges.
Mis-quotes Mary as saying,
"anger at Woodward's death is as strong as it was two years ago."

Leads with news that civil trial is likey to start in March of 2004,
makding coverage of JFW's revealations secondary.
Quotes front page of JusticeForWoody.org:
"Howard Dean Implicated in Church Shooting Cover-Up."
Mis-quotes Mary as saying,
"anger at Woodward's death is as strong as it was two years ago."
In fact Mary said nothing about anger.

Erroneously quotes Paul as saying,
"and that while handcuffed by Brattleboro police,
a medical doctor who was in the church was not allowed
to come to his aid."
The physician was prevented from rolling Woody over to
treat his abdominal wound; not from coming to his aid.

Most pathetic version of AP article.
JFW's charges of obstruction of justice are censored as
"a report that sharply criticized Attorney General
William Sorrell's investigation of the shooting."
Repeats fraudulent statements in Sorrell's report such as
"medical assistance was rendered promptly,
first by those present, then by Brattleboro Rescue."
without even mentioning that JFW challenges that claim,
let alone that the statement is one of the grounds for
the obstruction charges.
