The kidnapping verdict section refers to two of the federal defendants as "being acquitted on the basis of entrapment." This is not correct, the jury verdict made no finding on what basis the jury acquitted Caserta and Harris.
A more correct statement would be simply to state two of the defendants were acquitted. In fact, Judge Jonker granted a motion in limine to prevent the entrapment defense from being pursued by any of the defendants, and the only mention at the first trial to the contrary came after several defense opening statements opened the door for the Government to put on predisposition evidence, which happened outside the presence of the jury. 2603:8080:7703:9A6:3DDB:BB08:991C:5F6B (talk) 02:34, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The statement "She has spoken against single-payer healthcare as unrealistic" is misleading and should be removed; the source only said she opposed El-Sayed's plan to pass single-payer health care in Michigan on the state level because it was unrealistic and she expressed support for the idea of Medicare For All "in concept" on the federal level in the same interview, albeit a version that allows people to keep private insurance. 72.74.36.97 (talk) 03:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: During her incumbency as a vice chair, she served with Vela. The fact that he resigned prior to the end of her term doesn't require notation here, as this article is not about Vela. General IzationTalk 03:35, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
