CORRECTIONS:
Recent coverage of the William Beebe case [“Beebe pleads guilty to reduced charge,” Courts & Crime News, November 21] misstated the type of contact that Beebe and Liz Seccuro had about a sexual encounter that occurred between them at UVA in 1984. They did not, in fact, begin phone conversations last year nor did they disagree over whether a rape had occurred, as reported. Their correspondence was over e-mail, and, while the two held differing views about the incident, they did not specifically have a disagreement over whether it was rape, according to Seccuro, who contacted C-VILLE about this correction.
Additionally, C-VILLE reported that Seccuro claimed she did not notify law enforcement before December 2005 because University officials told her not to go to the Charlottesville police. In fact, Seccuro says, she did notify law enforcement, specifically the UVA police, directly following the incident. UVA officials have said they cannot locate that report.
Last week’s cover story on attorney Debbie Wyatt incorrectly reported that Frederick Gray, whose estate is being represented by Wyatt, was shot by a Charlottesville police officer in 1997. In fact, Gray’s shooter was an Albemarle County police officer.
Last week, GetOutNow incorrectly listed an acoustic jazz concert at Blue Bird Café for Wednesday, December 6. In fact, Blue Bird has closed permanently, effective November 30.
Last week, Restaurantarama incorrectly identified a soon-to-open business. The correct name is Mod, not Mod Grill.
In the November 28 issue, Restaurantarama misspelled the name of one of the owners of Orzo Kitchen & Wine Bar. She is Katherine Kroloff.
C-VILLE regrets these and all factual mistakes. Send those lumps of coal to editor@c-ville.com, or, in the spirit of the holidays, cut us a break knowing that we usually do a lot better than this!
