Puberphonia

edit

Can we talk about his condition of having puberphonia? It's very noticeable when ever he spoke to the media, across multiple videos --172.251.204.186 (talk) 23:17, 28 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I wouldn't think so, not unless a reliable source discusses it. It's certainly not part of his notability. General Ization Talk 23:38, 28 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protect?

edit

Can we get a semi-protect on this for a few days?--Jorm (talk) 01:37, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I don't personally feel the level of vandalism justifies it, but feel free to request it at WP:RFPP. General Ization Talk 01:40, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Passed the bar?

edit

The statement that Kratz passed the bar is unsourced, and quite frankly, dubious. Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that admits lawyers to the bar via "diploma privilege". All lawyers who graduate from either the University of Wisconsin Law School or Marquette University Law School are automatically admitted to the bar upon application, so Kratz would have had no need to take the bar exam. 32.218.45.132 (talk) 21:09, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

See here, specifically the listed Bar number. If that does not mean (in Wisconsin) that he literally "passed the bar" (exam), please suggest an alternative wording to accompany this link as a source. General Ization Talk 21:14, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion: "admitted to the bar"? General Ization Talk 21:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
The wording was fine before this edit added the unsourced and dubious information in question. 32.218.45.132 (talk) 00:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. The issue has been corrected. General Ization Talk 00:49, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. Here's the only source I've been able to find on the year: [1] (¶3, p. 3), though I realize it's a primary source. 32.218.45.132 (talk) 00:52, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

In the third sentence, under the section "2009 Sexting Scandal", where it says " at the risk of dismissing the case against her boyfriend would be dismissed." it should say "at the risk of dismissing the case against her boyfriend." Adamjumanji (talk) 16:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

The discussion of the Dassey case needs to be updated. It currently states his conviction was provisionally overturned, but the ruling overturning it has been reversed by the Seventh Circuit and cert denied by the Supreme Court. The simplest way to revise would be to delete the reference to it having been overturned. 97.78.211.206 (talk) 11:15, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Two Separate Cases

edit

The second sentence of the article is factually incorrect, as Dassey was not convicted under State v. Avery but in fact under State v. Dassey. Two cases, two trials. (Also please note that Avery's case title includes his middle initial.) Please change from

He gained prominence for trying a highly publicized homicide case, State of Wisconsin v. Steven Avery (2007), in which Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey were both convicted.

to

He gained prominence for trying two highly publicized homicide cases, State of Wisconsin v. Steven A. Avery (2007) and State of Wisconsin v. Brendan R. Dassey (2007), in which Avery and Dassey were both convicted.

I've had no luck finding the actual 2007 case documents in online searches, but the case numbers and titles can be found on this blog: https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/tag/brendan-dassey/ 70.160.231.74 (talk) 14:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
