    I think they were saying he was a closeted murderer. Seems reasonable I guess. All things considered.

      They’re trying to lessen the blow by putting a worse term next to murderer

        I suppose Al Capone could be considered and out of the closet murderer. Hiding it would have had less impact.

      Makes sense, that’s not something you’re normally very open about. I think there is a certain stigma surrounding a murderer when they come out of the closet even in today’s enlightened environment.
