Talk:State v. Golding

Copy-editing problems

@Discospinster and Psx1337: I am having trouble parsing the following sentence: "The suspect, charged by the State with four courts burglary in the second degree, connivance to submit robbery in the second degree, general help misrepresentation and conspiracy to aid extortion." Clearly it should be "The suspect was charged ..." but what's "four courts burglary"? Is it four counts of burglary, or something else? And is it really "connivance to submit robbery"? Surely "commit" is the right term here? I'm not confident enought to edit it though, because IANAL, and maybe that's correct legal terminology that I just don't know. --Slashme (talk) 10:02, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Courts should be counts. Connivance is actually a legal term, but it's not used much in everyday speech, it means "secretly being involved in" (think "conniving") ... discospinster _talk 13:20, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello there. Sorry that this is probably formatted wrong on my part, but that's right it's four counts of, although I suppose the word of could be left out. Hopefully the gentleman who replied above clarify this for you. Thank you for reviewing a couple of my Wikipedia articles. Appreciate it if you still have any questions just let me know sometimes I'm a little slow to answer them because it's not too often that I check my notifications.
