Kaj Linna

- ... that Kaj Linna (pictured) was exonerated for murder after a true-crime podcast started to raise questions about his conviction? Source: [1]

- Comment (not a full review) The hook needs work - do you mean podcast rather than pod? Did you mean to repeat his name? How about:
- ALT1 ... that a podcast helped overturn the conviction of Kaj Linna (pictured) after he had served 12 years of imprisonment for murder?
- Article needs some attention too. Spelling / grammar / biographical details / clearer about timing of events. PeaBrainC (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'm wondering if we need someone with legal expertise to help us here. This is a complex situation involving legal definitions and translation from Swedish to English. I hate to put on the main page that the guy was exonerated if that's not technically the case. Is there a Swedish legal source that uses whatever the Swedish term for exoneration is and states clearly that he was exonerated? --valereee (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- There are four sources that are being used in the article for sentences that use the word "exonerated." The BBC source here doesn't mention the word. The Local source here doesn't use the word. The Local source here doesn't use the word. The Swedish radio source here appears to be broken. I'm just not sure about using exonerated in the hook we don't have it supported by a source. People think exonerated means innocent. --valereee (talk) 10:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
