What each column does and doesn't cover

Every case states When (date) and Where (state) — 931 of 931. Beyond that, a blank cell means the source record does not state that fact, not that it did not happen:

  • Setting: stated in 850 of 931 cases (91%)
  • Drug: stated in 858 of 931 cases (92%)
  • Method: stated in 675 of 931 cases (73%)
  • Prosecution status: stated in 675 of 931 cases (73%); a documented penalty (fine, settlement, or restitution) exists for 107 of 931 cases (11%)
  • Role: stated in only 255 of 931 cases (27%) — filtering or sorting by role silently hides the rest of the registry, which may still describe the same role in prose without a structured field
