From the Editor's notes on the article:
"A couple of publication notes. First, Quinn Norton did not accept money for the publication of this story. We offered. She has chosen to donate the money we're paying her. Second, I edited this story. Third, we've published several snippets of writing that Norton penned during the time of the trial along with her present account because their content -- a letter to the prosecutor and a reflection on Norton's father -- are an important lens for her state of mind at the time of the investigation. "

- emhart 14y agoThis one article would not make the difference, though I wonder if your greater point may be that it can be hard to get by in this country when you grant money an ethical/emotional/moral or otherwise personal value beyond beyond the apparent financial value.
