The death of Tonia Amato has held just about everyone's attention for more than a week now. As a few people have mentioned on ORL and here, Tom Giambroni reported that Tonia's husband admitted to killing his wife as revealed in court documents file yesterday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court. It was also reported that a claim of self defense was made along with that admission.
Mr. Giambroni's article is front page, headline news in the Morning Journal. Other than the shooting itself this is the first real information we been given about this case as to why and what happened. The Review's headline story today is entitled "Mooving violation". It is a humorous ditty about a wayward steer that escaped a Madison Twp. farm and how it eluded capture yesterday around State Route 11. Pitiful... We didn't even get a news bulletin this time. It wasn't even in the Police & Courts reports buried on Page 6B of this morning's Review.
They wonder why they are losing subscribers. Wake up ladies. Your efforts are turning that paper into a daily society column. It's sad.

Maybe the Review got an inside tip that the cow is a suspect.
Nib--
I couldn't figure out Review management when I worked there, let alone now. What's even more bizarre is that they could have run Tom's story.
How about Channel 9 News? They promised to stay on this story to the end, but it seems they've lost interest too.
Kudos to Tom Giambroni and the Morning Journal staff for staying on top of things from the start.
News9 did have an update on its 5 p.m. broadcast. Natalie Pasquarella said she'd have an interview with the special prosecutor at 11 p.m.
Whoever is makeing such poor decisions should know that they are takeing a paper that use to be very news-worthy, reliable and unbiased and turning it into fish wrap.
You are so right. The MJ has slam dunked the Review on one of the biggest scoops in this story thus far.
Did The Review print their version of the story in today's paper? Or was there a cat stuck in a tree that demanded front page coverage?
Today is Tonia Amato's 26th birthday. Saturday marks 2 months since she was killed.
