    It’s not the journalist’s job to determine that, it’s a court’s job to do so. Until then, everything is alleged or possible.

      You can use less washy words. For example you can say “a woman has been accused of a hate crime, if these alligatons are true then…”

      The way these stories are written now not only use the “allegedly” they also tend to use language that down plays the event.
