Evaluate the article
The lead section begins with a strong overview of the case and adds some history about trial by combat. The article provides citations to credible sources when possible and when necessary. It does so from a neutral point of view. The talk page has criticism dating back to 2010. A lot has gone on behind the scenes to make the article well-developed.
