James M. Turner, Kenneth A. Gewertz

- ... that James M. Turner was removed from the New Jersey Senate after being convicted of trying to frame his political rival Kenneth A. Gewertz by planting 6,500 amphetamine-like tablets in his home? See this source - "State Senator James M. Turner, a Gloucester County Republican, was found guilty today all three counts of conspiracy, bribery and giving false information to law enforcement officials in a plot to frame Assemblyman Kenneth A. Gewertz, a Democrat, on narcotics charges.... Conviction carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $1,000 fine on each count of the indictment. In addition, Senator Turner, who is 44, will be barred from serving further in the Legislature, from continuing to be a candidate for re‐election in November, or from holding any other state office.... The indictment named as the co‐conspirators, but not defendants, Richard E. McDowell, a 47‐year‐old dealer in building supplies who was accused during the trial of dealing in “hard cargoes as far away as Boston'; his 26‐year‐old son, Richard J., who has a record of two larceny arrests and is now out on parole, and Carl Yellin, 19, who was accused of actually hiding two bags of about 6,500 amphetamine‐type pills at the Gewertz home."

Created by Alansohn (talk). Self-nominated at 03:45, 23 September 2016 (UTC).
- Alansohn, because the various indications in the nomination are that this is a double nomination, for both the James M. Turner and Kenneth A. Gewertz articles, I've bolded the Gewertz article in the hook. However, this means that you will need a second QPQ, since each nominated article requires a QPQ review. If you'd rather only submit the Turner article, I can always remove the bolding I just added and also remove Gewertz from this page. Please let me know your preference. Thanks.

James M. Turner is big enough and new enough, cited throughout the text and neutral enough despite subject shenanigans. However citation for private life elements in the infobox are missing. copyvio check finds no plagiarism.- Kenneth A. Gewertz is large and new enough. It is mostly cited but there is nothing for "two daughters, one son" or the name of his wife, the unique info in the infobox. Neutral enough despite subject shenanigans. Copyvio check find no problem.
- Hook fact is in the first article, cited, appears to be correct, and is interesting. Hook is 196 characters, so scrapes in under the limit. One of the two QPQs was performed so far. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett, the second review was done; see Template:Did you know nominations/Queen Creek Tunnel. Alansohn (talk) 01:50, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- confirmed two QPQs are done. Alansohn I am still awaiting the reference improvements. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:02, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett, I'm not sure that these sources for infobox details are within the purview of DYK verification, but they have been added. Alansohn (talk) 03:52, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- All the information in the article should be verifiable, whether it is in text, table or infobox. That has taken care of Kenneth A. Gewertz. So Kenneth A. Gewertz now complies. However no improvement yet on James M. Turner. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:13, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett, a source already in the article was added to support the claim that Turner's wife's name in the infobox is indeed "Cynthia". Alansohn (talk) 05:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
now that sourcing deficiency is rectified, it is good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:26, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
