Mrrzy I yield to no one in my strict observance of pedantry when the oppportunity arises, but I have not found your suggested title for the man in the newspapers.


New York Times obit here.

Pretty unforgiving article here, out of Boston referring to Law as an unindicted co-conspirator here.

Please amplify your argument: Is this a Church syntactical embellishment or do the papers have it wrong? Or is there a subtext that due to the aura of ill-repute surrounding the man he does not get the appropriate appellation?
