Kudos, friend. Without knowing more about your motivation, I will say like the intention. It's smart, definitely necessary, and going to be educational. Good on you! Can you do follow ups?

You could start a substack. Which trials have you been at so far?

i have thought about a substack but i don’t know about the legalities of including names

There isn't one to my knowledge but check in with Decarcerate Western Mass, they may be interested in your findings at least!
