Prosecutor won't charge reporter who uncovered database flaw
>Cole County Prosecutor Locke Thompson released a statement Friday saying there is an argument to be made that there was a violation of law, and that the issues at the heart of the investigation have been resolved through non-legal means, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.That sounds more like that "we would have prosecuted the reporter" if they hadn't discovered that the "state education commissioner initially planned to thank the newspaper for finding the problem".They should have profusely thanked him and also given him an award.
