Guilty Of Ignorant Headline Writing

OK, kids. 

Here's how it goes:  One pleads guilty TO a crime, one does not plead guilty OF a crime. 

If there's a trial and a conviction, then one is convicted OF a crime, not TO a crime.


Not only only is the offending statement incorrect in reporting a legal proceeding, it is awkward and also makes one, and that person's employer, appear to be blithering idiots.

Hope this helps.
