Talk:Brady v. Maryland

message: To the person who keeps changing it. The Casey Novak reference is trivial and does not belong on the page as I explained in the editing notes like you asked me to. Not every fictional case involving Brady deserves to be listed under See Also. It is trivial information that doesn't add to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.71.74 (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the issue is the reference to a fictional character in a fiction-based television programme that starts with the words ""The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event," or, "Although inspired in part by a true incident, the following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event" being used in an important law article. It seems way out of place. I would vote to remove the reference. I've tagged the article to raise the visibility of the issue Stout256 (talk) 00:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I agree that it is a fictional character in a plot that refers to Brady  v. Maryland. My real issue is that the reference does not fit in "See Also" section as it is used by other Supreme Court articles.  For example, I took a look through all the important cases mentioned in Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. From my recollection of the show, at least every other "Law and Order" episode has has the defence moving to suppress evidence due to illegal searches, but none of the 4th amendment articles mentions any fictional examples. The only example I could find in my admittedly cursory search of "Law and Order" references in law articles is Bernhard Goetz, and that was placed in a "Cultural references" section to separate it from the legal examples.  For consistency with other Wikipedia legal articles, I would suggest a compromise that places the "SUV" example in a a new section called "Cultural references".

message: Reverting language in opening sentence of section to "murdered" rather than "were charged with murdering". The murder itself occurred on June 27, 1958. Brady was not arrested until some time later, so it is incorrect to say that he was charged on that date. 
I saw Chess's explanation for the change: "clearing up that the two were charged with murder, as stating that Brady actually committed the murder is misleading". I understand the reasoning, but I disagree for a few reasons. Brady was convicted of first-degree murder, and that conviction was never overturned. It is true that he did not actually kill Brooks himself, but he was an accomplice, so it is appropriate to say that he and Boblit together committed the murder. The rest of the graf also clarifies that he was not the actual killer, so there's no risk of misunderstanding.
