Source notes

Two-page ANN redacted derivative, source pp. 1, 3-4 and 12 of a 48-page supplied discovery PDF. December 30, 2025 14:26 supplement is within the January 2-printed RMS report; January 6 memo supplies authorship and interview/written-account context. Prosecutor consultation is the officer's account, not independent confirmation. Apparent participant-name reversals remain uncorrected; evidence receipt and correction history are needed. Other statements dated January 6 cannot be assumed to have preceded charging. Juvenile/family identities, report/body-camera identifiers, photographs and child handwriting withheld. No actual video, final order or selected NNPD complaint outcome appears in that discovery packet. A separate July 31 signed-order photo is now published; certified docket/offense linkage remains unverified. Earlier screenshots overlap; they are not independent corroboration.
