Oops, but shh

Here's an interesting story. Some dude was mistakenly identified as a brutalizing cop in a huge front page story, where his picture appeared above the fold. Jack Neeley Jr. is the dude, who isn't a brutalizing cop, but a cab driver and security guard. He claims he's in danger because people who hate the police might attack him.

Notably, though, the story I linked is The Chron's final correction on the issue, it appears. The story is on page A2. While they fucked up and plastered his picture with negative information on the front page above the fold, where even people who don't buy the paper can see it, the corrections have not appeared above the fold, and this one isn't even on the front page. Who sees newspapers in newsracks but doesn't read the entire newspaper? I dunno. Maybe the people Neeley is worried about.
