Talk:Murder of Leiby Kletzky

was the boy autistic
i heard he had autism. if i find a good source (like USA Today and things of this nature), can i put it in the article? i think if the boy had autism it is fairly notable for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.153.156 (talk) 01:00, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * its already in the article and sourced.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:39, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

It is sourced, but the source is in error. If he was a shy boy that's what he was; there is no indication that he suffered of autism or even Aspergers Syndrome. WPIX assumes this, it is an error and probably best to be edited from this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.209.255 (talk) 09:59, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Currency
I know with this still unfolding, it is difficult to keep it all straight - the article is excellent thus far and I hope no one meddles.

But my query is about a detail televised today: the murderer said he thought what he did may have been wrong. This was presented earlier this evening on a CNN special feature, and I also think the NY State Assembleyman, I only know is 1st name is Dov, should be included. Is there a way to slip that into the article?75.21.149.143 (talk) 04:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, be WP:BOLD and add it, with a source.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 04:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You're referring to the last line of the suspect's 450-word statement to police, obtained by NBC New York: "I understand this may be wrong and I’m sorry for the hurt that I have caused". Interesting: A reader replying to one of the NY Times articles suggested that the wording "this may be wrong" could refer to Aron's recounting of the events of the past 36 hours, rather than the moral implications of his deed.

More camera sighting?
There was reportedly more camera sightings later on, one in a 7/11 parking lot, where the camera sees the boy inside Aron's car. A second sighting was the child walking to the restroom in a gas station (Sunoco?) on the Palisades Interstate Parkway on the way to the wedding in Spring Valley. Any sources? LGFN (talk) 14:56, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The DA did say the pair was seen by a gas station attendant, and there is a gas station surveillance video time-stamped 8:15 p.m. But the DA is feeding the facts to the press with extreme discretion, so I would wait until he presents his case in court before printing an actual reconstruction of events. Yoninah (talk) 08:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yet again, beautiful job, Yoninah! But does the security camera paragraph belong under "Confession"? LGFN (talk) 23:01, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I also didn't think it was the right place, but as there is no Evidence section yet, I stuck it in there. Please move it at your discretion. With all the surveillance cameras in New York, I wouldn't be surprised if they find one opposite the suspect's house. Yoninah (talk) 08:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Good work so far
Good work so far but still needs some major improvements! See here WP:MOS for general info, WP:LEAD for the introduction, and WP:BOLP for biographies of living persons. An example of a good article of a similar kind you can find here: Murder_of_Marwa_El-Sherbini I am happy to give guidance if required. Best, Mootros (talk) 02:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what's not right about the lead; it has the murder, the apprehension of the suspect, the indictment and the guilty plea. Perhaps you'd like to suggest a rewrite here on the talk page? BTW, this is not an article about Levi Aron; are you suggesting that he needs his own page? Best, Yoninah (talk) 12:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Have you read WP:LEAD? Nobody said its an article about Aron. Biographical information about him as a living person information are contained here and should be dealt with accordingly. Pls note, it's not an article about Leiby Kletzky. but about the murder of Leiby Kletzky. This means e.g. the title is a descriptive title and does not required the name to be bold. Also if someone pleaded guilty to murder, why are reading about an "alleged" murder? Mootros (talk) 02:13, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Psychiatric evaluation
The statements by the killer's attorneys about his mental condition are not the same as a psychiatric evaluation. A bar exam is not a license to practice forensic psychiatri. 84.23.155.84 (talk) 19:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Arraignment
Could someone please explain (and ideally, rewrite) this sentence:


 * If true, perspicacious comparison in the determinants of the horologe invocation of criminal incarcerated schizoidism inheriting disjointness into diagnosis (indifference and introspection) thence may have presented ironical and conflicting judicial peril in advocating insanity defense.

Level 1 search
The New York City Police Department apparently declared a Level 1 search, "something normally undertaken after a child is missing for 24 hours", after 12 hours. What was the reason for this departure from normal procedure?Royalcourtier (talk) 04:41, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Is the Brooklyn Hasidic community "insular" ?
I would like to raise a concern about the use of the term "insular" to describe the Brooklyn Hasidic community. I believe that this term carries negative connotations that are unfair and misleading. This is because the use of the term "insular" contributes to a larger pattern of othering and stereotyping of Orthodox Jewish communities.

Thus, instead of using loaded terms like "insular," I would suggest using more neutral and descriptive language to accurately portray the community's way of life. For example, we could describe their community as "close-knit" or "tight-knit," which more accurately reflects the sense of community and solidarity that is a central aspect of their culture.
