Legal Desk reports are based on official court records, public filings, law enforcement documents, clerk records, agency statements, legal notices, and other verified source material. Boca Post works to clearly distinguish between allegations, court filings, law enforcement statements, judicial rulings, plea agreements, convictions, dismissals, and other case outcomes.
Allegations in civil complaints, criminal complaints, arrest reports, probable cause affidavits, and other court filings are reported as allegations unless and until they are proven in court. The filing of a lawsuit or criminal charge does not establish liability or guilt.
