The OSU investigation, presser, and now this news about the Powell PD have fully vindicated McMurphy. He was the most aggressive, consistent and trustworthy journalist involved and in light of the Powell mini-scandal, everything he published remains accurate.

Bullshit proven accurate by who?You? he never,ever attempted to publish an opposing rebuttall nada,zero,zilch.Jesus now your taking liberties as much as McMurphy,Zach,Urban or Courtney.I'm not defending Zach or anything but there is a reason this yapping jackel wasn't employed until the last month..Earle Bruce never met with Courtney - his daughter,Zachs mom did in 2009.
https://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/powell-police-chief-refuses-to-release-courtney-and-zach-smith-2015-domestic-abuse-report from the Police Chief himself - he'll open the records if the court orders him to because of a recent enactment of Marcy's Law.Why haven't they pursued this if it's such a smashing slam dunk.I'm sure with McMurphy's backgound in yellow journalism he's got a few Attorney's on speed dial.Fire Urban,jail Zach I don't care but you trying to turn this trampled cabbage leaf into Eward R Murrow is laughable

proven accurate by who?

The McMurphy narrative has been corroborated by the OSU investigators and what we've learned about the Powell PD going back to edit Zach's 2015 arrest report in July of 2018.
None of this would have happened without McMurphy. Zach would still have his job. We'd never have learned about Meyer's mishandling.
Meanwhile the only fly that ever fell in McMurphy's reporting's ointment was that for a while Snook's report from Courtney's mom was believed as damning ... but that only lasted until McMurphy responded by interviewing Ms. Carano and got her to share texts that contradicted her own Snook interview by documenting a conversation in which Ms. Carano peppered Zach with statements about his abuse of Courtney. Which apparently Snook never asked about (or he did ask but excluded it because he felt they were counter to the pro-Zach narrative he wanted)

While I do think McMurphy enjoys trolling OSU fans, I dn't see anything particularly shady on his part.  He did get some pretty crucial information wrong, and I don't find his excuse particularly great - (the box was checked!)  He obviously didn't do any sort of follow up to make sure he was right.  It is what it is.

Also, the thing with the mom is weird.  That she supported her daughter years ago and doesn't now is not some sort of proof that she is lying or has an ax to grind.  

In any event, go Bucks.

I agree with all of this. He definitely has enjoyed the ride. Not sure why that should affect our interpretation of the information he presented. I'm only judging that information and am doing so as "accurate."
For your last sentence, though, I seriously doubt it's standard ops to check the public record, make copies, and then need to check again just in case. Historical files and years-old records should be static.
If I go check on some zoning ordinance for Bloomington from 1993 or go to the library and read the first line of Moby Dick, it would be reasonable for me to expect those things can't (or at least won't) change. Expecting me to "follow up to make sure" those documents are still the same is the thing that's unreasonable.

Courtney told McMurphy that "she has been estranged from her mother for about two months."

“I still love my mom, but I’m really hurt she has chosen not to support me during this difficult time,” Courtney told McMurphy.

Sorry you objectivity is swirling the drain.No it wasn't that quote was taken after McMurphy talked to Miss Carano

I mean to be friendly but don't understand your point. Do you think these quotes are inconsistent with what I've said?

Again hire an attorney and Powell Police will open the records.Courtney would love to prove this as she would win if the landslide of evidence is the slam dunk that your angling to indicate.Did you read my link to Ramzy and the 11 Warriors,he opined that neither Zack or Courtney were particularly liked.McMurphy popped off that all the wives knew.Michelle Herman said she didn't or see any signs of abuse.Look I'm glad Zach's gone and only saddened by knowing Urban isn't following him.But this yodeling roach McMurphy is a walking/talking crime against Journalism

Again I mean to be friendly, but I don't know what conversation you think we are having. What would Courtney be suing the Powell Police for, and what evidence does she want from them that we don't already have? McMurphy copied a file with the arrest box checked. And then the Powell police changed that. And then McMurphy shared his copy to establish that the Powell PD did in fact change it recently so we weren't stuck taking him at his word.
I don't happen to think Courtney has any reason to sue the Powell PD. And if she did, I don't have any reason to expect we'd learn important new info.

Here's the document that McMurphy copied before the Powell police sketchily edited it. Your attention should be drawn to box "F: Arrest - Adult," which is checked:

Right, I've seen it. Solely relying on whether that box is checked is IMO pretty shoddy reporting, given how easy it could have been to fact check. I've seen thousands of police reports and would not rely solely on those boxes over the other information in the report.
