A Lede Too Weird For Words

Some sentences are sufficient to make one stop in your tracks and just gape.

A hermaphrodite who is accused of theft, criminal impersonation and bond violations in 2000 and 2004 has been found competent to stand trial.

But if one reads the story, it turns out that both the sentence and the headline are wrong – the perp is not a hermaphrodite, but a man pretending to be a woman. Therefore I’d have to argue that “sick freak” is a better descriptor.
