This reminds me a lot of that Naomi Wolf “Death Recorded” thing from a few years back
EDIT: For context, Naomi Wolf wrote a book that contained a passage about Br*tan executing queer men in the 18th, 19th century but when she discussed it with a radio show the host pointed out that most of the instances she noted were people whose sentences were “Death Recorded” meaning they were sentenced to death in accordance of the law, but it was commuted/reprieved. Naomi Wolf was entirely unaware of this fact.
