Template talk:CaseData

Before I begin proper, here's an example of a Court Records case "summary" for reference, to ensure that we're all on the same page:
 * Date: August 3rd, 2016
 * Defense Attorney: Phoenix Wright
 * Prosecutor: Winston Payne
 * Defendant: Larry Butz
 * Victim: Cindy Stone
 * COD: Blood loss due to blunt force trauma to the back of her head.
 * MW: A statue clock
 * Guilty: Frank Sahwit

I'm not sure about truecrim being on this infobox. Back when I built this template, I decided that the fundamental difference between this and the Court Records case "summaries" would be that this infobox would be written from the court's point of view within the universe. This is why, instead of a "Guilty:" equivalent, a verdict field was made. This is also why I placed multiple infoboxes in certain cases, being centred on the trials rather than the cases. All this said, the real killer technically isn't "important" for any given trial, being named for the sole purpose of earning a not guilty verdict, and personally I don't even find it notable enough to put into the infobox when he or she is named at the end of the plot description anyway. It's not that big a deal, but I'd still prefer it if people considered this reasoning and gave an opinion of the appropriateness of the truecrim field. capefeather 02:03, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
