Suprise
Proving that The Daily Cal is still Kevin's bitch, our beloved school paper decided to publish a story on the now-dead bank robber's ties to UC Berkeley.
However, since both the DA and the university have made it clear they will not protect the newspaper from harassment and theft from various student groups (ah, wouldn't it be ironic if it turned out to be Mayor Bates to the rescue after all), the story is about as apologetic as The Socialist Worker is for terrorists. With plenty of 'allegedly's, Alicia Wittmeyer writes absolutely nothing negative about him. It's all friends saying "no way" and his status as an honors student (in African American studies... yeah, that means a lot). There are no reports from the police as to why they think it really was him, no reports from witnesses, etc. etc.
Not that the information wasn't available. In another shamelessly stolen link from CalStuff, The Contra Costa Times reports that the money was found with him, and he had been involved in this kind of thing before. It's summer, after all... the student groups aren't around to burn your building down, so stick that neck out a tad, eh, Daily Cal?
