It seems that every time something comes up involving a member of the LDS church, especially if it involves some sort of illegal activity, the Trib is more than glad to report it and point out that the alleged criminal is LDS. I remember about 15 years or so ago, there was some sort of white collar crime that ended in homicide and there were three who were charged with murder. One of the perps was LDS and it was reported as such, but nothing was said about the religious affiliation of the other two.

Somewhat understandable. There are people who feel it is shoved down there throat in this area, Utah, that mormons are better people than everyone else. When people feel that way they look for every opportunity to point out, you have problems too. I thnk that is some of what underscores a lot of the dislike for BYU.
