Killadelphia: Whose Fault Is It?

AN OIL HEATER REPAIRMAN was shot and killed not far from the Temple campus on Wednesday evening.

Police have no suspects for the murder of Carl Tomberlain, which occurred near 18th and Norris Streets.

The Inquirer story in Friday's paper had these details:

In 1992, Tomberlain was sentenced to three to six years in prison in a multivehicle DUI accident on I-95 in Bucks County that left a 21-year-old woman dead on Nov. 13, 1991.

He also was awaiting a preliminary hearing for an arrest on an assault charge last month, details of which were not immediately available late yesterday afternoon.


Tomberlain was the victim, not the perpetrator, right? So why do we need these facts? Are the reporters hinting at something? Do they suspect that the victim was up to no good?

Is this negligent journalism or is this simply presenting as many facts as possible?
