Attached to this page is a Word document containing a copy of the New York Times article about the outcome of the case. It is a Word document because the NYT limits the amount of articles one can view online in a certain period of time and this way you can come back to the article whenever you'd like.
The number one rule of research is to KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES
