Priest pleads guilty to stalking TV host O’Brien

conan-160.jpgAjemian pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct after prosecutors withdrew charges of aggravated harassment and stalking, misdemeanors that are punishable by up to 90 days in jail. The guilty plea allowed him to avoid a trial.

The headline of your story seems incorrect, since the body of the story says they withdrew the stalking charge.

One comment so far

Please take better care in choosing what photos to place alongside stories. The photo accompanying your story “Little progress in preventing foodborne ills” showed spinach. The main sources of foodborne illness, as listed later in the article, included oysters, eggs, meat, poultry — not spinach or any other vegetable. The photo is therefore misleading to readers, and seizes on a formerly highly publicized exception to the rule that most food-borne illnesses stem from raw/undercooked meat and poultry - not vegetables!
