Alleged? edit
The use of "allegedly" in "... the real life 1906 murder of Grace Brown allegedly by Chester Gillette" is problematic on two counts. First, he was convicted, so the "allegedly" can probably be dropped. But if his guilt is merely alleged despite the conviction, then "murder" should also be alleged. Personally, I would drop all the "allegedly"s. "Alleged" means "declared but not proved", and legally his guilt was "proved beyond a reasonable doubt".
Granted, this is all nit-picking, but isn't that what lawyers do best?
