Orphaned references in George Whitmore Jr.
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of George Whitmore Jr.'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ReferenceA":
- From Central Park jogger case: McFadden, Robert D. (2003). "Boys' Guilt Likely in Rape of Jogger, Police Panel Says". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. Retrieved January 19, 2018.
A panel commissioned by the New York City Police Department concluded yesterday that there was no misconduct in the 1989 investigation of the Central Park jogger case, and said that five Harlem men whose convictions were thrown out by a judge last month had most likely participated in the beating and rape of the jogger. The panel also disputed the claim of Matias Reyes, a convicted killer and serial rapist, that he alone had raped the jogger. It was his confession last year that led to a sweeping re-examination of the infamous case by prosecutors, and to a reversal of all the original convictions against the five defendants.
- From Killing of Akai Gurley: "Here's What It'd Take To Convict The NYPD Cop Who Killed Akai Gurley". Huffington Post. February 12, 2015.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:00, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Inconsistencies
editThe article says
"fruitless attempts at obtaining compensation for his wrongful incarceration."
But according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Career_Girls_Murders
" He successfully sued for false arrest and was awarded $500,000 from the City of New York."
Source is New Your Times but is behind a paywall so I'm unable to see it.
