A reader alerted us to the fact that the charges for David Messenger were reduced from murder to first-degree manslaughter after he was found to be afflicted with a mental disease or defect. We have therefore corrected this in the recent stories we have posted about Messenger's possible release from Connecticut Valley Hospital. However, we have left it as "murder" when directly quoting officials speaking on the charges, because that is what they said or wrote in their letters to other officials.

CORRECTION: A typo in the driver's age of this story has been corrected from 543 to 54 years old.
