Here was the original opening sentence about a woman who apparently was shot by her cousin.
"A 20-year-old woman remained in critical condition Friday with her cousin accused of shooting her with a high-powered pellet gun, authorities said."
Really? the cousin also remains in critical condition? No. He doesn't. In fact, we later say he is in jail. The reporter had 'and,' which, while not great, is accurate. The boneheaded editor - me - decided to stick the man in the hospital. jeez. I was so disturbed I went in and fixed it.
