Can we try this for Yasir Arafat?

File this tidbit from the Baltimore Sun under Big Time Oops:

Correction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally published April 2, 2002



An obituary in Saturday's editions of The Sun reported the death of Ralph D. Chester of Millers Island. Mr. Chester is not dead.

Mr. Chester was reported to have died by a family member, who called The Sun to provide material for the obituary. The Sun later determined that the family member who called has been estranged from Mr. Chester for several years.

The Sun regrets the error.

I don't remember my criminal law class very well; is it legal to kill someone if the newspaper has already reported that he's dead?
