The CNN webpage linked in the OP inaccurately declares:
"Arias friend suggests Travis Alexander may have been killed by Mormons in ‘blood atonement’ ritual."
http://www.hlntv.com/video/2013/03/04/arias-friend-reveals-his-shocking-theoryThat is not what this reported friend of Arias is saying.
This friend is asserting (and doing so falsely, I might add) that Mormons bent on "blood-atonement" revenge will supposedly come after Arias' own family in a Mormon Cburch-sanctioned blood-killing response in order to avenge Arias' murder of fellow Mormon Travis Alexander. That is why, this uninformed friend says, Arias is concoting her own story of what happened in the killing of Alexander.
This is ridiculous. The Mormon Church does not endorse that kind of "blood-atoning" killing in present-day belief or practice.
Basic fact-checking failed CNN's producers here.
Buying this line will only make gullible RfMers out there look insanely uneducated and stupid. Don't fall for it.
