Readers: I'm offering a short blog referring you to my Monday newspaper column. We received some criticism, in reader posts, e-mails and letters, about why we included certain details when we covered the recent arraignment of John A. Okie.

I hope this column explains it. The link is here:
Slaying details disclosed after careful reflection

I had a college professor who said the difference between journalists and public relations people (we were in the same part of the college -- communications) is that journalists uncover the truth and public relations people conceal it.

I think that's a little harsh but some of the details in the Okie case were too crucial to gloss over.
