my daugther was murdered by her ex-boyfriend,who then killed himself, 2 weeks ago. Of course, we are broken hearted over this loss. Two days after the incident, our local newspaper printed an article on the front page and stated that my daugther was "no stranger to the legal system", cited her only arrest for failure to appear in court(florida) for a shoplifting offense when she was 18. The article also falsely stated she once called 911 and hung up. a few days later the paper published an apology to our family stating their article was in poor taste but accurate, but the damage was already done, it was as though someone tramped on our broken hearts. We didn't tell my elderly parents or other friends and family members about the shoplifting incident, her only arrest. the newspaper has also never explained why they were investigating her background, she was the victim. we are wondering if it is possible that we have grounds for a lawsuit? other families should not have to experience this type of trauma due to poor judgment. Thank you.
