Case closed without conviction

- User:Pharaoh of the Wizards, while it's fine to update the Infobox to destress the charges and convictions, removing sourced history concerning the fact that there were prior charges, convictions, and penalties from the body of the article, smacks of WP:POV editing. If the newer actions of the judiciary overturn the earlier ones, then say that, and source it; do not just whitewash it as if the earlier events never happened. Were these charges disputed? Dropped because he died without a determination of guilt? Completely false from the beginning and politically motivated? These questions need to be addressed and sourced; simply wiping out the history, is not the way. I haven't reverted you, but I will, if appropriate adjustments are not made after a decent interval. Other articles here deal with similar situations; look up how they handle cases of disputed, or erroneous convictions. The case of Alfred Dreyfus is a very famous one, so much so that there may be too much there to take it all in; but in a nutshell, he was a French military officer falsely accused of espionage, convicted, stripped of his medals, and banished to a penal colony island. After an uproar and retrial, he was convicted again. Finally rehabilitated in the end, he served with distinction. But the sorry history of what happened to him earlier, is fully laid out in the article (actually, a whole series of articles; this is a very, very famous case). If you need more examples, I can probably find you some. (Adding Ralphlends.) Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:51, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
