Block that clause

OK, diagrammers, have a ball:

A custody fight over a golden retriever that belonged to an estranged couple who died in a murder-suicide has apparently ended with a judge awarding the dog to the family of the man police said killed his estranged girlfriend.

As far as I can tell, it's all legal. But it does raise a couple issues:
1) We sure don't want to make it easy on those slackers out there in readerland, do we?
2) Good thing there isn't any of that pesky news crowding feel-good stories like this out of our A section today.
