7th Circuit ruling

edit

I'm not sure "In February, 2012 the appeals were dismissed, with U.S. Circuit Judge Diane Sykes ruling that the officers involved had qualified immunity, due to probable cause for disorderly conduct, as well as possible confusion regarding the legality of open carry at the time" is an accurate description of the ruling. The decision stated "Although the district court’s probable-cause analysis did not sufficiently account for the right to bear arms under the state and federal constitutions, we agree that the officers are entitled to qualified immunity." As written now it appears that they did have probable cause while what the court said was that their belief that they had probable cause was not unreasonable under the rather loose standards required for qualified immunity where “Qualified immunity tolerates reasonable mistakes regarding probable cause.” 208.115.153.106 (talk) 04:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

corn's words

One of your changes was changing "fuck" to "f". The newspaper reports all list the wording as [expletive], but if you read the police report, the words were reported as "fuck", so I think it should be changed back. I will put this on the talk page as well if you wish to discuss there. Gaijin42 (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Manslaughter?

edit

This article is currently in Category:Manslaughter trials, but the crime he was convicted of is 'reckless homicide'. Can someone more familiar with Wisconsin's laws than me judge whether that's appropriate? Is 'reckless homicide' equivalent to manslaughter in other jurisdictions?
