Ted, don't be so quick to assume other news outlets reported the same story. I
too can appreciate that NSMB.com's news posting about the plea was not ill-
intended but other news outlets did not report the same story. A quick news
search to corroborate NSMB.com's plea story 24 hours after the posting
confirmed that.
"Trail Saboteur Pleads Guilty" NSMB.com April 15th, 2015
"Her lawyer Peter Martins told CBC News that Kraal plans to plead guilty and
he expects the date for the sentencing hearing later this year will be set on
Wednesday." CBC, April 15th 2015
"A North Vancouver woman accused of sabotaging mountain biking trails is
expected to plead guilty to a criminal charge in the case." Vancouver Courier,
April 16th 2015
NSMB.com was given the benefit of the doubt and even queried in the comments
section of original plea article about this and they didn't react until today
- two weeks later. I like NSMB.com for their MTB industry and lifestyle
related articles, but their foray into journalism outside that realm must be
taken more seriously.
That said, Cam's heart-on-the-sleeve mea culpa each time something happens is
admirable.
