Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.
Reported — unverified
Still pending independent verification against a primary source.

The four verdict options the jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial can return in Massachusetts — first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, or not criminally responsible — and what each would mean for Clancy. It clarifies the most misunderstood outcome while deliberations continue: NCR carries reported indefinite commitment to a secure psychiatric facility, not an acquittal.

No court revoked Isaiah Cheluget's title to the 5,800-acre Narok parcel: in Environment & Land Case 53 of 2018 the court dismissed the 583-plaintiff cancellation suit as res judicata and never reached the merits, and the dispute ended in August 2026 through a voluntary government buyout. This record reconstructs the judgment's reasoning, the 2003–2024 procedural chain, and where news reports diverge from the primary order.
