Checks and Corrections

Use the sheriff’s May 29 arrest date. One later WSB account says June, which conflicts with the original release. The June juror incident occurred during the June 15–16 selection effort; June 17 is the report’s publication date.

Some Courtroom Insider pages were readable through indexed excerpts but returned access errors when opened. No facts beyond the available excerpts are attributed to those pages. The WSB link opens the publisher’s own Arc-hosted copy.

No private social group, closed Discord conversation or unverified screenshot is used as proof. Missing originals are named in the Court Records index.
