Conviction Details
There are no details in this entry which would enable the reader to begin forming an opinion on the governor's actual guilt. I imagine such objective facts would also be hard to find anywhere else; isn't Wikipedia a good place for them? WmDKing (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
