Is the use of "alleged" correct in this sentence from @washingtonpost ?
"The judge overseeing a civil trial over alleged business fraud committed by Donald Trump and his company issued a gag order in the case Tuesday barring the former president from making public comments about his court staff."
The judge already found T to have committed fraud for the past 10 years. Nothing alleged about it. Amiright? Or no?
I think you're probably right. I think it's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Sometimes you really should call a thing what it is. A lie is a lie, and proven business fraud is just that: business fraud
I'm back from #EFACon2023 and what a great experience it was! I presented two well-received sessions, met tons of people, sold all the copies of Perfect Bound that I brought with me, and even sold 1 copy of Mystery at Creek Academy. That's in addition to eating good food, learning about conscious language from @RedPenRabbit and reconnecting with old friends. Are conferences worth the time and money to attend? This one was!
