A good reminder that we need to support local, professional journalism. Otherwise the only information we would be getting right now is official statements or hearsay.

  The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel now is just a reskin of USA Today[1]. They're not locally owned or controlled. [1] https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pr/2016/04/11/gannett-completes-acquisition-journal-media-group/82887440/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pr/2016/04/11/gannett-co...

    The important thing is they are still paying for a journalism to do beat coverage in the area. Everyone acts like independence is the most important aspect of journalism. But an independent blogger in New York rewording press releases is exactly how we got in this misinformation mess, and absolutely not a replacement for someone with a recorder walking around a courthouse asking questions.

The AP article someone else linked is much better: it includes both: - a PDF of the criminal complaint (court filing), and - details of what specifically the complaint alleges (that the judge encouraged the person to escape out of a 'jury door' to evade arrest). The phrase 'jury door' doesn't appear in the JS article.
