I'm not sure about something in this article. Does it say that a cotton swab was found in the mouth of the dead person? It seems more likely that a crime scene or autopsy technician would have swabbed the inside of his cheek. Also, further down, referring to a different case, that he was charged on one date, but not sentenced until this other date. Normally, there's activity between being charged and being sentenced, most notably, being convicted. It reads very strange as written, but I don't know all the facts of the case. I hope this doesn't sound too obtuse, but I found this article a little confusing.24.131.12.228 01:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Scott T. Erskine.jpg

Image:Scott T. Erskine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
