    “cleared by polygraph” sounds a little like “cleared by his horoscope”

      It is still important to be able to identify the suspect of such a crime regardless if they are alive or dead by the time they can be named.

      They at least block them in court, so while law enforcement can use them, “results” from them are not admissible in court.

What is global news?

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.
