Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Church Law and Tax's legal-affairs summary of the Fourth Circuit's ruling on Jim Bakker's fraud convictions, published by Christianity Today / Church Law and Tax, the middle tier reflecting a specialist religious legal-affairs outlet summarizing an appellate ruling, that the 24 fraud and conspiracy convictions were upheld while the original sentence was vacated for judicial bias, rather than the court opinion itself. NotesA specialist legal-affairs desk that digests published court rulings for a religious-organization readership. Secondary rather than the ruling itself, but written to a legal standard of precision about what a court actually held.
