Five people DM'd me overnight to ask whether the third sentence of the third paragraph of That Story is grammatically faulty.
It most certainly is.
It most certainly is.
*She fell in love with a defendant whose case she not only covered but of whose arrest she also broke the news, of.
*Not only did she fall in love with a defendant whose case she was covering, but when they got around to arresting him, there she was, breaking the news therof.
*She broke the news of the arrest of a defendant whose case she had not only covered but with whom she had fallen in love.
Oh, wait, that one may actually be correct.
*sips more coffee*
Oh, wait, that one may actually be correct.
*sips more coffee*
Well, two asked. The other three were pretty much just WTF, man.
