J419: Libel exercises (part 1) Directions : E valuate these paragraphs for potential libel: Make sure they are as accurate as possible, are properly attributed and do not assume people are guilty of a crime before the legal system has so determined. Note any questions you have for the reporter. 1. An upscale version of Thelma and Louise has been busted for posing as wealthy apartment buyers to pilfer diamonds and other luxury items from Manhattan pads, police said yesterday. While touring the multimillion-dollar apartments, the team would take turns distracting the brokers, swiping everything they could get their sticky little fingers on. 2. An Uber driver was beating more than the traffic when he punched, kicked, bit and threw a water bottle at two police officers as they were trying to give him a speeding ticket. 3. A police sergeant shot and wounded a 27-year-old man yesterday who ran a stop sign and then tried to drive away after he was pulled over, the police said. The car had drugs in it, but the man did not appear to have a weapon. 4. A teenager who allegedly helped two other teens beat a Black man in a bias attack told cops he’s being threatened by them for agreeing to testify against them, police sources said. 5. A long-serving pastor of a Catholic parish is under investigation for using church money to feed a gambling habit and has been permanently removed, the Archdiocese said Sunday. 6. A 25-year-old graduate student was struck and killed by a drunken driver early yesterday in a hit-and-run accident that occurred as she was crossing a street with friends in downtown Lawrence, the police said. 7. A gunman on a cocaine-and-booze binge killed one man and wounded two others in a series of drive-by shootings across six frightening hours, prompting a massive manhunt that ended when he surrendered after police stopped his car early today, authorities said. 8. The body of a 3-year-old girl was found Wednesday at her mother’s home. Investigators are trying to determine if the girl’s stepfather killed her when he banged her head against a faucet in the bathtub. 9. A drunken off-duty cop ran over and killed a photographer taking pictures of the Queensboro Bridge early yesterday, police said. Housing cop Brandon Colon slammed his SUV into Julio Alberto at 3:40 a.m. Alberto died on the bridge while a friend, who had managed to leap out of the path of the drunken cop’s SUV, watched helplessly, police said.
