Legalities
Earlier today, an IP editor a) inserted the statement that Mr Born With a Tooth had been a 'child killer' and b) included a reference to a newspaper article in order to support this statement.

This (apparent vandalism that cited a source) was unusual enough to make me look twice - and, indeed, Mr. Born With a Tooth had a 3-year-old son who died under unclear circumstances in 1984. The death was ruled an accident, but then some years later the child's mother stated that it had been murder. Very briefly: Mr. Born With a Tooth was arrested, the mother told multiple versions of what happened, the prosecution would not or could not identify their informant, and the court threw out the case.

To what extent should this be in the article? To what extent can we, should we, rely on what is apparently a primary source (i.e., the judicial opinion)? An article from 1991, when he was in legal trouble re: the police standoff, says "acquitted on a charge of murder (...)jury was unable to reach a decision on a charge of child abuse (...) agreed to plead no contest to the criminally negligent homicide charge instead". Indeed, the Crown Prosecutor at the time didn't appear too concerned with this particular incident... DS (talk) 22:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * @DragonflySixtyseven If people are going to be insistent on including it, we need to state the facts of the article without violating UNDUE. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:33, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
