If it matters, for 2008 there was someone who personally recorded every homicide/murder listed in all the major NY newspapers to personally findout if his amount differed from the NYPD's amount. You can find this "The Murder Book", by googling.
It turns out that he counted less homicides than the NYPD.
So I used to be a avid believer to that "NYPD cooking books" crowd, but this has me reconsidering.
it possible that the victim passed away after the story was published and the author of "the murder book" never followed up on it...because then the NYPD would upgrade charges to a homcide. just food for thought.

And just for the record, I'm not one of those "They cook the books" nuts... I was just simply doing a test to see if they would count the murders this week.
This is a complete copy of my post on the 27th of feburary smackdown in the middle of last week
Update they should count At least 6 Homicides all Of them being in Brooklyn and this is all in the last 2 days not even counting today (Friday) Here are the links to every single one of them.

Well not every "Official" homicide has media coverage.......and i read him alot last year is he doing murder book 09?
Food for thought. For the brass at the nypd to say one motorcycle was stolen, 4 must be stolen. Just a quick compstat fact. The voice did a story about a year or two ago on these games they are playing. It is real. If you personally know any cop on the job that is not mainlining the job koolaid, they will tell you it is real.
