A different kind of Chron eye
In the past, we've made fun of the Chron Eye for the Death Row Killer Guy, in which Chronicle writers go out of their way to profile cold-blooded killers in the best possible light.
Yesterday, the Chronicle posted a different kind of Chron Eye, with some pretty strong quotes from family members of victims of the cold-blooded killer:
"I hope the son of a bitch rots in hell," Ertman's father, Randy, said last week. "He deserves it."
and
"Don't say time makes things better," Peņa's father said. "It never goes away. It's never going to go away. The hurt is still the same. I still find myself crying just out of the blue."
Prior Chron Eyes talked about the prison poetry or art or troubled childhoods of the killer guys, instead of focusing on the victims, so this is real progress.
