Writing about inquests as a source.

ONE set of inquests have been digitised. One.

They comprise about a third of all inquests held in West Yorkshire 1852-1899

There are NINETEEN THOUSAND of them.

Having covered coronial inquests, it is exceedingly rare that coroners will go this far and commit this to print.
The findings are getting buried by coverage of the mushroom case, but the findings of the Kumanjayi Walker coronial inquest shouldn’t be ignored.

🧵 Medieval Inquests & Bail Records

I’ve been working on Inquests & writs of bail (C144 records) for nearly a decade. They’re a great source for many aspects of medieval life, not just the law. For instance, they reveal causes of death unrelated to crimes, e.g. drunkenness.

This is almost certainly an undercount. Inquests into deaths can often take years. Even obvious suicides are often ruled as accidents due to cultural and religious norms. Further, many families may not be supportive and their trans identity may not have been known outside of friends.

Me, confidently: Coroners did not hold inquests on Sundays or Christmas Day

Coroner in 1833: You know what, let's have an inquest on Christmas Day

Why we still need inquests for Troubles victims. Even after decades, families deserve truth.

Bob there should remember there’s no statute of limitations on murder, inquests can be reversed, and keep his gob stopped.

It’ll need more than that. It’ll need criminal trials, inquests, and truth and reconciliation hearings.

The US has got to learn the lessons of the past: without justice and consequence, MAGA will continue to metastasise.

“It's maddening to see the number of inquests that I attend, the number of funerals that families have to attend, and the fact that we are 30 years after the royal commission, and the situation is getting increasingly worse…”

Indigenous deaths in custody at a record level in Australia. So horrific.

Today I found a trove of previously unnoted coroner’s inquests from early nineteenth century Boston. The witness depositions are rich in the detail of everyday life but utterly heartbreaking. I left the archive feeling emotionally drained 🗃️

Let C-SPAN operate their own cameras on the floor of the house for the inquests
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
