What each column does and doesn't cover
Every case states When (date) and Where (state) — 875 of 875. Beyond that, a blank cell means the source record does not state that fact, not that it did not happen:
- Setting: stated in 794 of 875 cases (91%)
- Drug: stated in 802 of 875 cases (92%)
- Method: stated in 619 of 875 cases (71%)
- Prosecution status: stated in 619 of 875 cases (71%); a documented penalty (fine, settlement, or restitution) exists for 97 of 875 cases (11%)
- Role: stated in only 255 of 875 cases (29%) — 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
