Read this article first. It was in the Lincoln Journal-Star online page today. After you've read it, go down one post and read the original story. interesting the way a paper can change it's reporting in the name of sensationalism.

Prosecutors to file homicide charges in wife's shooting death
By the Lincoln Journal Star
Wednesday, Feb 04, 2009 - 12:22:08 pm CST
A 21-year-old newlywed is set to appear on charges in connection to the fatal shooting of his wife on Friday, a day after her funeral.
Joshua Beasley is likely to face a manslaughter charge, though Joe Kelly, the chief deputy Lancaster County Attorney, said no decision has been made yet on what charge he will face.
A press release from the county attorney’s office said he would be arraigned Friday at 2 p.m. on a homicide charge.
[
By statute, homicide refers to the killing of a person by another.
Saturday night, Lincoln police found 20-year-old Alaina Beasley on the kitchen floor in the couple’s apartment at 6230 N.W. Second St. She had a gunshot wound to her chest.
Joshua Beasley had called 911 at 9:15 p.m. Saturday, and allegedly told police he was handling a shotgun when it accidentally fired and he shot his wife.
Alaina died at a Lincoln hospital four hours later.
Visitation will be tonight from 5 to 8 p.m. at Roeder Mortuary in Omaha. Her memorial service will be Thursday at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, 8345 Crown Point Ave. in Omaha.
