The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Courthouse News (22 September 2026): 'The first bellwether trial in the Eaton Fire case, which will consist of eight different plaintiffs, is scheduled to start Jan. 25, 2027.'
The fire at issue: 9,419 structures destroyed and 19 civilian deaths, cause listed as electrical.[1]
The consolidated case is heard by Judge Laura A. Seigle in Department 17 of the Spring Street Courthouse and is 'advancing toward a first bellwether trial scheduled for January 25, 2027'; Seigle kept that date despite SCE's request to move it to August.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
