A giant raspberry for the Chicago Tribune, which in an editorial Saturday, uses the Laci Peterson case as a springboard to call for greater attention to domestic violence as a leading cause of murder of pregnant women.
How is it domestic violence if her husband, who is presumed innocent, didn't do it? It is outrageous for a national newspaper to make Laci Peterson the poster child for this issue.
Greater awareness of spouse abuse and other domestic violence has helped many victims to improve their home life or relocate to a safer place. The Laci Peterson case underscores the need for a similar awareness about the danger that can rise up during what should be a time of joy.
Shame, shame on the Tribune.
