Anyone see a problem with this headline?
I know of a paper (not mine of course) that ran this headline on the front page. I smell a lawsuit coming with huge, huge damages.

Problem would be that your arrest "suspects" because charges are never laid BEFORE someone is arrested, furthermore, they can't be tried and sentenced as a murdered before they've been arrested.
Correct headline should read "Murder suspect arrested".
Am I right?
"you arrest", not "your".
Actually re-reading it, there's a lot of errors. Just makes sense of what you can. ;)
That's right, Samantha. They might have a job open for you at that paper :)
Even after someone's been convicted of a crime, the media still like to say "convicted murderer so-and-so..." just to be on the safe side.
