New enough and long enough. However, the hook does not appear in the article; in fact it says that he is being executed for another reason entirely. There is also an unreferenced sentence, and you should also rewrite the quote in the legal case section in your own words. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 16:44, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Unreferenced sentence: fixed. Legal case quote: dequoted+compressed. Hook: When you say the hook does not appear in the article, I assume you mean because of the word "for". In this sense you're right, we don't have a source that directly says that his using a BlackBerry was the main reason for the sentence. The reasons for the sentence are (as is sourced in the article) disputed, so it was difficult to find a short, accurate, hooky way to write the hook. I've proposed ALT1. The unfairness of the trial does not seem to be disputed. Boud (talk) 21:15, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
