NOTES
The penitentiary mug shot taken when Hazzard was admitted to the Washington State Penitentiary in 1913, used as the case artifact for the disconfirmation stage. The Wikimedia Commons record dates it to 1913, names the Washington State Penitentiary as the creator through the Washington State Archives, and records the rights as public domain. The named identification follows the archive record. The image marks the legal endpoint of the case: a self-styled “Fasting Specialist” photographed on entering prison for the death of a patient.
