From The Fish Wrap:

The following people were indicted recently by a Caroline County grand jury:

[…]

Melissa Nicole Bentley, 23, Woodford, assault and battery against a family member

According to online court records, an indictment was sought against Melissa Nicole Bentley on October 1, but a true bill was not returned. I.e., she wasn’t indicted.

Michael Thomas Brockmyer, 41, Ruther Glen, sodomy

A Michael Thomas Brockmyer was indicted on January 2, 2008, for a count of rape and a count of forcible sodomy (not sodomy, which isn’t even against the law in Virginia anymore [or in the United States as a whole] after Lawrence v. Texas).

He pled nolo contendere to two counts of aggravated sexual battery on October 3.

Patrick Ryan Flaherty, 21, Stafford, grand larceny

Again, according to online court records, an indictment was sought against Patrick Ryan Flaherty on October 1, but a true bill was not returned. I.e., he wasn’t indicted.

They have some nerve publishing false information against someone with such a great Irish name.
