Man Convicted in Murder of Craigslist Prostitute:

I originally posted about Chad Johnson (not Ochocinco) here. He was arrested last year for strangling, Jennifer Papain, a prostitute that he met on craigslist to death after she refused to give his money back. Johnson buried her in a shallow grave somewhere near the Long Island Expressway.

This week Johnson was found guilty of second-degree murder in Ms. Papain’s death. He’s looking at 25-to life when he’s sentenced in January.

I find a couple of things curious about this case. The first is why did this not make the national media when it happened so close to the Five Burroughs? The second is I’d like to hear the legalization folks explain how legalizing prostitution would have prevented Jennifer Papain’s murder.
