JonBenett Ramsey Suspect Arrested and Confesses

It's not often that a Denver story makes it onto the front page of the (UK version of the) BBC website, but such an occurance happened last night.

Probably the second most famous (or notorious) Denver storyline since I've been here has been the mysterious death of JonBenet (after Columbine, obviously) - the local press basically covering any new updates to the story (and randomly making things up on a quiet night) as if the story was just breaking.

Anyway, now that it looks like the police have their man, I wonder how many of the local radio, tv and newspapers are going to issue apologies to the parents (well, at least the dad, the mother died in June) for the lightly veiled "we know you did it, the police just can't prove it" undertone to every single story they ever did on this subject?
