Juan Rivera (wrongful conviction) → Juan Rivera (Illinois) – Yes, he was wrongly convicted but then exonerated. I can't find any other non-redirect article that uses this kind of disambiguation. Why not "Illinois" instead? I don't want to use "born 1972" because there aren't sources verifying his birth date yet. --Relisted.

Oh okay. I can't really see any compelling reason to avoid (wrongful conviction) as a DAB. Bali88 ( talk) 02:52, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
I wonder if the sentence "Rivera's mental state had not improved by the time the next interview was to take place, so he was placed in heavy restraints and a prison psychiatrist prescribed Haldol, Cogentin, and Ativan." [1] in the Investigation section isn't a bit misleading, as it implies that those drugs were somehow complicit in the false testimony, but the source used at the end of that paragraph specifies that, though he was prescribed the drugs, they were ultimately not administered. "When Nurse Enyeart checked on Rivera again at about 10:30 a.m., she saw no change. ... Because he was shackled and had no ability to injure himself at this point, the medications were not administered." [2]
I realize this is ultimately a small change, but it seems misleading. I didn't want to make the change without consulting first as to whether it was important enough to be warranted. Crmccarty ( talk) 01:49, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
This belongs in the first paragraph of the Lead along with his being known for 3 wrongful convictions, so I added it there. Parkwells ( talk) 02:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
