The unanimous verdict

The unanimous verdict of the jury in the criminal trial for Ross was "not guilty."

The court record and numerous news reports such as the Phoenix New Times demonstrates this.

"Nontraditional religions" vs "cults"

Replaced the word "cults" in the second paragraph with "nontraditional religions" because that phrasing is a more neutral point of view Ema Zee (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CAN bankruptcy

I put the Lewis info on the CAN bankruptcy in the article, but on reflection, it doesn't make sense. The plaintiffs could and should and would have required CAN to post a supersedeas bond in the amount of the judgment before being allowed into the appeals court. Hence, when the appeal failed, the bond would have satisfied the judgment -- that is the standard in US law. What really happened? Grammar'sLittleHelper (talk) 06:28, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
