Update: Addendum by Bristow Beat
Bristow Beat followed the same policy it always follows regarding photos the police include in the crime reports. We have not been criticized for including the photo of an 18-year-old before.
Including the accused's mother was an editorial position based upon her position as an elected official, directly representing the area where most of where our readers reside. It is not politically motivated, except that we believe our job is to report on our elected officials.
