How we work a case.

JUST is for reading public records closely and sharing what they say. These rules are short because they matter.

• Firsthand information goes to the investigating agency. Every case page links the official tip line when one exists.
• Do not name anyone as a suspect or accuse anyone of a crime. Say what a record says and link it.
• Do not contact families, witnesses or anyone named in a case.
• No home addresses, phone numbers or other private details about anyone.
• Link your source. A claim without one is a guess.
• A conviction listed here was overturned or is being challenged. That is a matter of record, and nothing here says who is guilty.
