reason
Map the own reported plea only; do not add sentencing, finality, a missing event year, charge detail or a cross-URL identity. Own disclosed guilty plea retained as reported plea, without borrowing custody, served term, act year or independent legal truth.
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.
Named US Attorney explicitly discloses plea; no sentence, exact charge or additional legal result.

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.
