I was just reading a report of a man who killed a woman by running over her a couple times. The word "allegedly" appeared too many times, and was used "wrongly." :)
Honestly, if witnesses watched it actually happen when it actually happened, then there is nothing about what they witnessed that is "alleged." They witnessed an actual event. Interpretations may vary, but one cannot dismiss what they witnessed by the word "alleged," as if they may or may not have witnessed it.
What is alleged is the man's motivation for what they witnessed: he may or may not have done this intentionally or unintentionally. But to report that "Two witnesses allegedly saw this occur" is insulting. … allegedly.
