Lawsuit: A Fatals Recap

In one of the lawsuit stories, we said the case was taking place in East Lansing court. In fact, it was taking place in Ingham County court.

In another lawsuit story, we spelled the last name of the attorney alternately as Piloto (correctly) and Poloto (incorrectly).

In a third lawsuit story, we said the high school's president was being sued. In fact, it was the high school's principal.

In a fourth lawsuit story, we said the suit asked for $500,00. We were missing a zero; the actual amount was $500,000.

The only lesson comes in the form of a reminder: we need to double-check EVERY name and EVERY title and EVERY figure and EVERY fact after we finish writing, to ensure what we wrote is actually correct.
