Convicted as Juvenile or Adult?[edit]

Was Heimlich charged as a juvenile or as an adult? If the former, those records are supposed to be sealed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.54.132.58 (talk) 18:16, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The records were publicly available for the press to obtain. WA juvenile records can't be sealed until age 21, which Heimlich wasn't at the time the obtained the records. There's not even any point sealing them now. Jason Weinman (talk) 07:41, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Heimlich was charged as a juvenile and as such there was never a guilty plea, a conviction, or a felony. In Juvenile court even if you agree you are guilty you are only found culpable and are then subject to adjudication upon which you have entered a disposition. While synonymous with the terms guilty, conviction and sentence, the terminology is different for a reason. It is meant to further assist in allowing children to live normal adult lives who do not re-offend. This article requires editing to remove the inaccurate terminology with the correct terminology linked to pages that explain the differences between Juvenile and Adult court. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.50.190 (talk) 22:32, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the state of Washington, where Heimlich was convicted, juveniles can plead guilty and be found guilty. Source:http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/juvenilecourt/process.htm

The court records obtained by The Oregonian (source in the article) say that he pled guilty. Does this clear everything up? Is there any other specific terminology you think may be inaccurate? Jason Weinman (talk) 07:41, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring "convicted child molester" to lead[edit]

Some people (fans, I assume) keep removing "convicted child molestor" from the first sentence. This should be kept in. Action needs to be taken against those who keep vandalizing the page by removing it. Nearly every news article about him says in the first sentence or the headline that he's a convicted child molestor. For sportsmen who are also convicted felons, BOTH of these things are mentioned at the top of Wiki articles (i.e. Michael Vick and others) 128.193.154.176 (talk) 01:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no interest in baseball or this person but I see that most of the information has been added by sockpuppets (two separate sockpuppets). I have restored the article to the last revision before the sockpuppet edits. Hrodvarsson (talk) 23:18, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How has this page not been protected yet? 98.176.148.115 (talk) 22:29, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because it hasn't been vandalized in two months. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:02, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
