ALEXANDRIA, La.
In a story Oct. 1 about a bail hearing for a former children’s show host accused of child abuse, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the former host’s attorney was jailed. The former host, Frank Selas, has been jailed; his attorney, Mike Small, has not been jailed and has not been charged with a crime.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Bail hearing scheduled for Frank Selas
A bail hearing has been set for a former children’s show host accused of sexually abusing a child during a 1979 camping trip in central Louisiana

Uh. Ohhh!
Some typos have more serious ramifications than others
Here’s the sentence in initial 01 Ocgtober report:
Small is Mike Small, ……Selas’ lawyer!
So, here’s the corrected version:
Good for a wee bit of a chuckle 🙂
