Trial

This is not a trial. This is just an indictment. A trial may or may not happen. The infobox and the article title is also factually incorrect. @Shrimpick: — hako9 (talk) 03:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hako9 this is indeed an indictment, not a trial, and the distinction is important. Thank you for pointing it out. Shrimpick (talk) 01:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the article and I suggest a new title: "Indictment against Gautam Adani." Will it work? Shrimpick (talk) 01:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Indictment of Gautam Adani and his associates" - Seems more accurate. - Ratnahastin (talk) 01:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shrimpick and Hako9: - Should this be moved to the new title I suggested above? - Ratnahastin (talk) 04:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't know what the indictment will lead to...dismissal, plea deal, trial? So that title will not be appropriate in the long term. "Prosecution of Gautam Adani in the United States" maybe...But I'd want someone with some expertise in US law to have a look at this article and title. It's obviously not up to encyclopedic standards. — hako9 (talk) 07:08, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per this source [1]:

The US Attorney's Office has an extremely high prosecution success rate, primarily because most federal cases do not go to trial. In fiscal year 2022, 89.5 per cent of federal defendants pleaded guilty, and 8.2 per cent of cases were dismissed. Among cases that went to trial, 1.9 per cent resulted in guilty verdicts, while only about 0.4 percent ended in acquittals. This translates to an overall success rate of over 90 per cent for prosecutions managed by US Attorneys.

I think your proposed title makes more sense, I think it can be further amended to "Prosecution of Gautam Adani and his associates in the United States" as he is not the sole defendant. - Ratnahastin (talk) 15:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title Indictment against Gautam Adani et al. would be more fitting for this page. Consider the examples of Trial of Mihailović et al., and Indictments against Donald Trump. Charlie (talk) 17:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
