Headline as published: Jake and Callum Robinson’s family issue emotional statement as trial of brothers’ alleged killers enters final stages

The one thing this headline claims is in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 501-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
