Florida blogger finds fame digging up dirt on slayings | Seattle Times Newspaper

Florida blogger finds fame digging up dirt on slayings | Seattle Times Newspaper, Aug. 17, 2009.

The local prosecutor said that a couple was murdered in the course of a robbery. But a local blogger got tips that it was a murder for hire. He posted and the case changed shape. The sheriff says the blogger had helped the investigation and his anonymous sources were largely right. A newspaper publisher says that the blogger benefited from his support of the sheriff's election campaign and has looser journalistic standards than the newspaper.
