Talk:Watergate Seven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Charges vs. Convictions

Someone much more knowledgeable about Watergate than I should weigh in here, but Kenneth Parkinson was the only member of the Watergate Seven to be ACQUITTED. He did not therefore serve any prison time, nor was he subject to any fines. Given this rather glaring factual inaccuracy, there may well be other factual inaccuracies in this article as well. But given that I'm not a scholar of Watergate, I will not make this change.

While I would not go so far as to say that this is a factual inaccuracy, it does not seem to be useful to report the maximum penalty that the individuals could have faced if convicted and sentenced. It would seem more relevant to explain the disposition of the case, including the quashing of Mardian's conviction on appeal and the dropping of charges against Strachan. Dpv 12:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
