Absolutely nothing is wrong with "rehashing" if the known and verified facts remain the same, and are not changed during the 'rehashment' process. lol
A good timeline that meets TOS is an effective tool for newbies to get up to par.
ITA! An accurate timeline with links to legitimate sources is an invaluable case tool.
So what are acceptable sources? Primarily, mainstream media (MSM), LE press releases,
direct statements by verified insiders, academic/professional references, and some select blogs (must be mod approved).
Social media sites, i.e., Facebook and Twitter do not serve as acceptable sources of fact on WS. The exceptions are MSM and LE social media pages, and then only the posts made by the page owners. Comments from readers do not count as fact.
And on that note...

At members' requests, a media/timeline thread and a case facts thread were added in September. I filled in the MSM links for almost the entire month of June. Since then, no one else has added a link, not one.

The case facts thread is empty, which is very sad.

We even opened a social media thread in the Parking Lot with the ground rules clearly spelled out in the opening post. It was eventually closed, however, when it ceased to be used for its intended purpose.
The problem with Brittney's threads has been, and continues to be, the reliance on rumors and FB gossip to provide the facts. Well, that might work for some, but it doesn't fly on this board. It's caused a lot of confusion and frustration for those members who aren't willing to accept hearsay as truth.
I realize the media reporting in this case has been scant, but there is information out there if you take the time to look for it.
Bottom line, if you cannot link it, you cannot post it.
