Isn't it a bit ghoulish to label this person as a "criminal" in the title of this article, as if that was his core identity? Setting aside that it infers moral judgement, it seems distasteful given the fact that he was wrongfully executed. Also, what is the criterion used here to define a person as a criminal? I once jaywalked, does that mean my tombstone should have CRIMINAL written on it for all eternity? Surely there is a better way to disambiguate this person from anyone else with the same name.

I think it's disgusting to list this woman as the murderer's 'lover' when it he only claimed that 8 years after the murder because new DNA evidence proved he lied when he said he never slept with her. He was the man who raped her.

http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/barnes617.htm It's odd this was used as a source since it points out the holes in the consensual sex story in the first few lines.
