Talk:State v. Lafferty

"mental damages"

At least in British English, "damages" in the plural means financial recompense for suffering inflicted by another person. What is surely meant here is "mental damage" (singular) - although it could be argued that Lafferty, having committed the crime he did, was already mentally damaged to an extreme degree.213.127.210.95 (talk) 21:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Primarily?

What is the basis to say that Under the Banner of Heaven is primarily based on interviews with Dan Lafferty? Altogether, the directly Lafferty-related material makes up perhaps a third of the book, and much of that is not based on interviews with Dan Lafferty. - Jmabel | Talk 02:30, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
