On November 11, Markle cut off his ankle monitor and was subsequently sent back to jail in Florida pending trial. The arrest complicates a dementia diagnosis and potential legal hurdles for investigating the case thoroughly.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
