- Comment: Feel free to tweak, but the reference to judicial murder should be retained as a demonstration of a modern concept applying to a distant past. Serial (speculates here) 18:26, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

QPQ done, hook is interesting and cited in the article (I've wikilinked cause celebre because I sure didn't know what it was), the article is neutral, new, copyvio-free, and long enough, but citation placement could use some improvement (more inline especially after the birth year) and a few things are phrased oddly for Wikipedia but are sourced and the article is written well enough for DYK. I don't have access to any of the sources listed so I'm going to AGF as to their verifiability and pass this. Good to go! Departure– (talk) 20:52, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
