George Russell Davis edit

George Russell Davis

  • ... that in Wilson v. Territory of Arizona, 7 Arizona 47 (1901), Judge George Russell Davis (pictured) found that bad spelling in a court finding was insufficient to overturn a conviction?

Created by Allen3 (talk). Self nominated at 16:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Article was created this afternoon and is easily long enough (nice one, Allen3!) Hook is cited to The American Journal of Legal History (offline, so assuming it's true, though it's only the opinion of one man, not hard fact). Copyvio checker reports 9.1% likelihood of violation (that's a "no"). Image is from 1909, so out of copyright. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:45, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
