Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier one: contemporary February 1991 news reporting from the Deseret News on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacating Jim Bakker's original sentence, reporting a specific, checkable judicial action as it happened. Its limit is that it is a single newspaper's contemporaneous account rather than the court's own record of the ruling. NotesA daily newspaper's contemporary report on a published appellate ruling, filed the day it came down. Reliable for the fact and date of the appeal outcome.
