Michael Hanline[edit]

Another success: http://californiainnocenceproject.org/read-their-stories/michael-hanline/ I don't know how this should be incorporated if the rest of the "12" aren't free yet. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Overly detailed and COI concerns.[edit]

Regarding this edit. This is probably obvious, but the level of detail is almost farcical. These sections rely far too much on WP:PRIMARY sources, such as listings and press release (and Facebook posts!) from CIP. There is also a redundancy problem, as some of these incidents have their own articles.

I also think it's very likely that this article, and the biographies of several people associated with this group, have been edited for pay without disclosure, which is a violation of Wikipedia's terms of service (WP:PAID). That issue is discussed at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#QuisLex (perm).

Since these details were adding by the same editor, these issues are closely related. The way to resolve this is for an impartial editor to review these sources and trim excess details, or details which are poorly sourced. Grayfell (talk) 06:34, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposition 66[edit]

Not sure if it's relevant to this item, but I see that several of the cases took 10 years plus before an exoneration took place. Should there be a mention that Prop 66 was passed and therefore sets a maximum time limit of ten years from time of sentencing, after which there can be no more appeals.2A02:8084:26E0:AA00:11CC:F70B:115A:2012 (talk) 13:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
