These are not our crimes part eleventy thousand

Accused dog killer, 24, tortures and slits the throat of her ex-lover's bull terrier 'Rocky' while she was having 'issues' with sex change surgery, court hears.

Thanks for sharing, this makes me so mad, we don't want crimes committed by men to be listed as committed by women. I really want to share on Facebook but sadly I'm too scared of the backlash!

I’m not certain it’s good practice for these newspapers to report cases like this where the accused is obviously needing mental health support. The accused is 24 and the ex-lover and dog owner 44, an age gap which also seems a red flag.

These two newspapers report this case, with a photo of Olivia (who looks very pretty), Olivia’s name and location, without mentioning the “impact of transition on mental health” claimed by Olivia’s defence. So “just” a pretty woman, not a transwoman in these two papers.

I don’t see how Olivia is helped by this redacted press coverage that keeps name and photo, and I don’t see how it helps the readers of these papers to understand the world.

The newspapers ignored that correction to the claim that transition improved mental health. I think they are culpable.
