Artist rights, rehabilitation and return
Well supported
What an archive owes someone whose legal matter is closed. A resolved case is part of a life, not the whole of it, and a record that leads with it — or that keeps a settled matter permanently at the top — is making an editorial judgement it has no basis for. The music is the subject; the disposition is recorded, dated and left in proportion.

Legal struggle is not the whole biography
Legal and incarceration records should be documented only when public, sourced and proportionate; artist pages should not reduce musicians to court cases.
