ROOT100 permits this own bounded sentencing account only. Keep the imposed 25-year term separate from time served, date/finality/refund claims or a forced union with the other publication. ROOT100:25-year reported sentence retained as imposed only, not served/final/refunded or dated; no extra crime counts or court identity.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.

Two harmed people do not establish two independent cases; scope single_case is limited to this bounded reported account, not a verified incidence or legal-case count.
Imposed term, not duration served or appeal finality. ROOT qualification: this own account reports one offender and one sentencing account involving two pensioners.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
