Tried in the press
Dallas A. Crockett went to federal prison in 1997 after being convicted of fraud and in 1998 after being convicted of a parole violation related to his fraud conviction. A Dec. 11, 2007, article was imprecise about the reason for his second stint in prison and may have incorrectly implied he was twice convicted of fraud. Additionally, a Dec. 13, 2007, article about Crockett settling with two of three defendants in his defamation lawsuit against them was incorrectly labeled as a public safety item. There is no support for the implication relating to Crockett’s second stint in prison or for the implication that his lawsuit related to criminal activity, and The Oregonian regrets the publication of the original statements.
