How many times can you use the word 'alleged'? How about saying he has been charged with X. You don't need to say alleged if you just report what he has actually been charged with something. Just state facts. Or say 'police say this scumbag committed the following crimes'.

Did the police really say he was involved with "alleged burglaries"? I doubt it.
"Cartersville Police Department investigators say Jerry Jerome Kilgore is responsible for two alleged burglaries, one of which involved an alleged rape and another an alleged attempted rape." How about you quote exactly what they said. That will relieve you of your perceived liability.

If you really are that worried about slander/libel you should get out of this line of work or learn the law.

I think that if simply including the word "alleged" in your press release will mitigate the chances of having the press release used against you for prejudicial publicity, it's a small price to pay. But otherwise, I agree with you.

Circumstances like this is unpredictable, that's why prevention is still better than cure. Thus, I would highly suggest this App that I am using a few months from now, which I'm pretty sure not only yourself could benifit but the rest of your siblings. It's a panic button that is easy installed on your smartphone and have a quick access to 911 with a Safety Neighbor program. You can check it out here http://safetrec.com/
