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.

The only Pan Am 103 conviction survived two SCCRC referrals and was upheld by the five-judge court on January 15, 2021, despite documented verification failures in informant testimony, eyewitness identification, and disclosure. For litigators, it is a practical evidence-integrity case study: informant incentives, witness reliability, disclosure logs, and chain-of-custody handling.

A primary-source-linked record of the August 1, 2026 I-75 street takeover arrests in Thonotosassa: the four arrestees, the charges as reported across outlets, and the actual statutory exposure each faces under F.S. 316.191 and 316.1935. Because the case is pending, every fine, revocation period, and forfeiture figure is presented as exposure, not an imposed outcome.

This article distinguishes each layer, cites the primary court orders and contract language, and explains why characterization, not settlement, determined every outcome.

Richardson's July 2026 no-contest plea was resolved under the Florida statute, and the distinction determines whether a driver faces a fee or a criminal record.

Under Arizona's notice-of-claim statute (A.R.S. § 12-821.01), the filing is a mandatory precursor to suing the county, and the county's response window is the next dated milestone.
