All that said, at an objective minimum, there is a gross citation problem in Driscoll’s book Trial, which needs to be acknowledged, owned and corrected. Looking at the two relevant sections, side by side, we know that there is a citation problem. What we don’t know is why or how it got there, about which more in a little bit. But regardless, however it got there, it needs to get out of there. The problem should be owned and corrected, in public, by the author and the publisher. The same goes for anything comparable.

Thank you. I was thinking about this yesterday. Remembering he had addressed Driscoll.
If there is a citation which includes a typo, that is a citation problem. If there is no citation, that is the definition of plagiarism. What a liar.
Well put.
By the way, Driscoll is starting up his show again in Scottsdale, AZ. 🙁
