The Daily Freeman spelled him Nicholas Peterson in the story and Nicholus Peterson in the caption. Daily Voice spelled Nicholus C. Peterson.
Skyler Gluck’s Daily Freeman story, published Nov. 5, 2026, at 1:58 p.m. EST and updated Nov. 6 at 11:05 a.m. EST, says a Hyde Park man, 31, was indicted in the stabbing death of William Wein, 71, and that Judge Jessica Segal presided. The same page says he was arraigned by a Dutchess County Grand Jury. Daily Voice, at 12:15 p.m. on Nov. 5, says he was arraigned on an indictment before that judge.

Nicholas, and Nicholus, and Nicholus C., are not the same spelling. Arraigned by a grand jury, and arraigned on an indictment before a judge, are not the same proceeding. Twenty-seven times, and 27 times in the head and neck plus once in the abdomen, are not the same count. An indictment is an accusation. It is not a conviction.
The Daily Freeman, by Skyler Gluck, published November 5, 2026, at 1:58 p.m. EST and updated November 6, 2026, at 11:05 a.m. EST, reported a Hyde Park man was indicted for murder after prosecutors alleged he fatally stabbed a 71-year-old man 27 times, and that the Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office said that Thursday. The next paragraph says Nicholas Peterson, 31, was arraigned by a Dutchess County Grand Jury in connection with the alleged fatal stabbing of William Wein, 71, and charged with second-degree murder, a felony. The photograph on that page is captioned Nicholus Peterson, Dutchess County District Attorney’s Office. Nicholas, in the second paragraph, and Nicholus, in the caption, are not the same spelling, and both are on the updated page. An editor’s note says the story was amended Nov. 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. to correct a name in the sixth paragraph. The corrections item, published November 6, 2026, at 11:09 a.m. EST, says a sentence in the Friday, Nov. 6, edition on the arrest of Nicholas Peterson on a charge of second-degree murder should have read: On Oct. 17, Peterson was brought into custody by state police and charged with murder. Eleven o’clock, with no zone on the editor’s note, 11:05 a.m. EST on the updated line, and 11:09 a.m. EST on the corrections item, are not the same clock. The sixth paragraph, as the story reads now, is the Oct. 17 custody sentence. It does not print a first name. A correction of a name, in the editor’s note, and a correction of that custody sentence, in the corrections item, are not the same description of the fix. The caption on the corrections page still reads Nicholus Peterson. Daily Voice, in a story time-stamped 11/05/2026 at 12:15 p.m. with no zone on that line, headlines Nicholus Peterson and captions Nicholus C. Peterson, 31, with the photo credit New York State Police. Nicholus C., on Daily Voice, and Nicholas, in the Freeman body, and Nicholus, in the Freeman caption, are not the same spelling. The Daily Freeman’s Oct. 23, 2026, story, published at 2:57 p.m. EDT and updated at 4:31 p.m. EDT, says state police charged Nicholus C. Peterson, 31, address not provided. Address not provided, on Oct. 23, and a Hyde Park man, on the indictment story, are not the same residence line.
The indictment story says he was arraigned by a Dutchess County Grand Jury. A later paragraph says Judge Jessica Segal presided over the arraignment. Arraigned by a grand jury, and a judge presiding over the arraignment, are not the same proceeding, and both are on that page. Daily Voice says he was arraigned on an indictment charging him with second-degree murder and that he appeared before Judge Jessica Segal for his arraignment. Arraigned on an indictment, and arraigned by a grand jury, are not the same phrase. The Freeman lede says prosecutors alleged he fatally stabbed a 71-year-old man 27 times. A later paragraph says District Attorney Anthony Parisi alleged that Peterson fatally stabbed Wein 27 times in the head and neck, and once in the abdomen. Twenty-seven, in the lede, and 27 in the head and neck plus once in the abdomen, are not the same count, and both are on that page. Daily Voice’s dek says he was stabbed around 28 times in the head, neck, and abdomen. Its body says approximately 27 times in the head and neck and once in the abdomen with a sharp instrument. Around 28, and approximately 27 plus once, are not the same count, and both are on that page. A sharp instrument is on Daily Voice. It is not on the Freeman indictment story. The Freeman story says William Wein in the charging paragraph and William Martin Wein when it says Hyde Park Police found him on Oct. 6. Daily Voice’s headline says William Wein. Its charging sentence says William Martin Wein, 71. William Wein, and William Martin Wein, are not the same name line. The Freeman story says the body was found at a private residence on Albany Post Road. Daily Voice says the killing happened near 4676 Albany Post Rd. A street with no number, and a number on that road, are not the same location line. Parisi, in the Freeman account of the Thursday release, said investigators could not determine exactly when the incident occurred and gave a range of Sept. 17 to Oct. 1, which that story calls up to three weeks before the body was found. The body, on that page and on Daily Voice, was found Oct. 6. Sept. 17 to Oct. 6 is 19 days. Up to three weeks, and a range that ends Oct. 1, are not the same span. Daily Voice prints the same Sept. 17 to Oct. 1 range and says Tuesday, Oct. 6. The Freeman story says he was remanded without bail until his next court date, scheduled for Nov. 10, and that he is detained in the Dutchess County Jail. Daily Voice says he was remanded to jail without bail and that his next court appearance is Tuesday, Nov. 10. Nov. 10, 2026, is a Tuesday. Remanded without bail until that date, and remanded to jail without bail, are not the same sentence. The Freeman story says the case was investigated by the New York State Police and is being prosecuted by Unit Chief Pamela J. Bloomfield and Senior Trial Assistant District Attorney Chelsy Jones. Daily Voice does not print those two prosecutors’ names. It says prosecutors did not disclose a possible motive or whether Peterson and Wein knew each other. The indictment story does not print that sentence.
The Oct. 23 Freeman story says a man was charged with murder in the death of a 71-year old town resident, with a space in 71-year old, and that on Oct. 17 state police charged him with second-degree murder. The indictment story’s corrected custody sentence says charged with murder, without the words second-degree. Charged with murder, and charged with second-degree murder, are not the same charge line, and the indictment story uses both. The Oct. 23 story says Hyde Park Police found William Martin Wein, who had died some time before, according to a press release issued by State Police Troop F, and that the Dutchess County Medical Examiner later determined the manner of death to be homicide. The indictment story says police found him deceased in his home and that the medical examiner determined the case to be a homicide. Died some time before, and deceased in his home, and found dead inside his home, on Daily Voice, are not the same sentence. The Oct. 23 story attributes the welfare-check account to Troop F and then gives a number for Troop K Headquarters. Troop F, and Troop K, are not the same troop, and both are on that page. Daily Voice says he was arrested on Saturday, Oct. 17. The corrected Freeman sentence says brought into custody by state police and charged with murder. Arrested, and brought into custody, are not the same word. The indictment story quotes Parisi saying the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Unless and until, in that quotation, is his wording on that page. No page used here reports a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WJLA says Judge Neal Kravitz found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. NBC4 says he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter while armed, and voluntary manslaughter, and manslaughter, are not the same count. A bench outside Father O'Connell Hall, and a park on the campus, and a small plaza by that hall, and the 600 block of Alumni Lane, are not the same place. Brookland-CUA Metro, and Brookland Metro, and Brookland-Catholic University Metro, are not the same station line. Snapchat messages, and a message, and an urgent message, are not the same account. Cash App, and cash app, and $300 with no app named, are not the same line. Judge Kravitz accepted the plea and found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. A 12-to-15-year range is not the sentence. Sentencing has not happened.
